Lost in the Valley of Death

Justin Alexander went searching for higher meaning. No one expected the quest to end in a search for his body.

If you don’t pay taxes but donate 7% of your net worth to climate change, are you still a bad guy?

There is no Bezos Climate whatever website.

So he's basically saying he's going to throw $10 Billion at the problem

but he doesn't know exactly what for.


it's hard to solve big or little technical problems without getting real damn specific.

he's going to kick in $10 Billion and be vague ? Like for seances or something ?

Obviously he isn’t a climate scientist.

Chided for not paying taxes into the industrial war effort, instead putting the money towards good efforts. I’ll keep a wait and see attitude. It may well be empty words.

Amazon isn’t necessarily the best example with their excessive packaging and distribution model.
The question is socially responsible capitalism possible? Should we be grouping all capitalists together as many want to group all socialists together?

I was in Solona Beach, hitching a ride down to O.B when a bus stopped. Confused, I told them I had no money. The driver told me it didn’t matter. It was a free bus, privately funded. Somebody’s daughter had been hitchhiking and was raped. Somebody saw a need and filled it. I appreciated the ride.

I'm going to need $5 million dollars to study the effect human belching has on climate change.

Specifically my belching. I'm fairly certain that it's doing nothing. But wouldn't you all rather be sure?

Hit him up. Maybe he’ll send you a ball gag.

Today, I’m thrilled to announce I am launching the Bezos Earth Fund.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Climate change is the biggest threat to our planet. I want to work alongside others both to amplify known ways and to explore new ways of fighting the devastating impact of climate change on this planet we all share. This global initiative will fund scientists, activists, NGOs — any effort that offers a real possibility to help preserve and protect the natural world. We can save Earth. It’s going to take collective action from big companies, small companies, nation states, global organizations, and individuals. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
I’m committing $10 billion to start and will begin issuing grants this summer. Earth is the one thing we all have in common — let’s protect it, together.⁣⁣⁣

Each vertical line is one year.

So those 3 lines on the right, belong to Trump.

Next 8 lines, counting right to left, belong to Obama.

Next 8 lines, belong to Bush Cheney.

How many years is one generation ?

If you have savings that is not playing Russian roulette in a trump market then it is probably doing just the opposite in real value.

The Pentagon Is Sitting on a Chunk of Valuable Airwaves. Why?

Companies say they need the military’s wireless spectrum to build a 5G network. The military has other plans—and nobody is sure what they are.

The US military likes bandwidth.

That's why they spray long rows of metallic particles in the sky.
