Chuck Feeney for sure. He gave away 99.999% of his money and is still alive. Never bought a car or a home, just straight up created a foundation, secretly funded it for decades, gave away all of his billions, then closed the foundation and is living off of a couple million in his rental apartment The only reason anyone knows he even donated the money is because his finances got audited in a lawsuit
I'm sure this has been discussed and I'm late like normal, but what's revolutionary about starlink other than the amount of coverage they have? I haven't looked at it in detail but satellite internet has been around for a long time.
You know what’s weird? The fact that there just aren’t many minority CEOs and billionaires. I guess they just don’t want it as much or work that hard
It’s 330, I’m in. a hotel in Indy, I cannot sleep and I might have woke the people up in the next room guffawing at this.
Starlink is great if you want another few hundred satellites ruining the night sky so Elon can get more govt subsidies
Him trying and struggling to get people to want his version of the shittiest subway imaginable has been fun to observe
The whole thing is bizarre. He gets credit for "revolutionizing" all these things that he either had no hand in or already existed. He's gotten credit for space flight, online payment, electric cars, tunnels, satellite internet, and on and on. How do people fall for this shit? It's mind numbing. If you respect his ability to market himself and play the capitalist game then just say that. That's what he's good at.
Exhibit 2 of people to ask “are you ok.” Lyrtch Probably add the people who liked the post too. Tmb: where your average poster roots for people to die and thinks someone who disagrees with them on monetary policy will be a mass murderer. Totally normal stuff that is allowed here daily. Y’all aren’t a whole lot different than the shitpit morons who got banned, just as long as it’s aimed at the right poster or demographic.
Good morning. My guy - you found a way to turn that Nashville bombing thing into a racial issue. Would take a break from internetting for mental health, not that controversial of a statement and one that shouldn’t be an emotional topic. Have seen a bunch of responses during the night, sad to see what all of you have become over the last 7-8 years. Started as well meaning defense of the working class, but has evolved into collective insanity. Ostensibly very smart people literally saying insane things not based in reality as to not even slightly puncture a worldview that’s gotten out of hand. Marx is rolling over in his grave, acolytes have denigrated from intellectual analysis to petulant children: “Bezos only succeeded because of his dad!” LMAO
Please fuck, and I can not stress this enough, as far off as your legs can take you. Have a blessed day.
I’ve responded to this point multiple times. Assume he had $10m to start (or more I don’t care), I am still impressed by everything he did after. Most people in here aren’t. And that’s the disagreement. There are a shitload of people on this planet with access to $10m who aren’t and never will be the entrepreneur and investor Musk is.
Exhibit 3 @Lyrtch…you’re slacking on your mental health poster check-ins. Might be time to mandate more founders work as internet mental health aides.
Gladly - will check back in after page 20. Meant what I said, take a break from these guys. They’ll have everyone hating their lives before it’s over.
You have to hate your life if you are critical of Musk or the capitalist model in general. Also why won't people engage these ideas substantively? A powerful brain
fuck twitter now this does confuse me, esp as someone that agrees w you a good amount of the time Inasmuch as only (generally) 2 types of jobs exist: (a) govt jobs; and (b) jobs in private sector and The government is not going to employ hundreds of millions of job-eligible americans and We do not have, nor do we seem likely to have some sort of high level UBI and Since all private sector organizations are started by SOMEONE then Don't the someones who start private sector orgs have some utility? I mean i shit on CEOs just a couple of pages back, but really don't understand this one.
i hope this is a joke it's not even that they are tilted right, it's that for real 80 pct of their articles are dumb as fuck trying to be a political "onion" and failing miserably if not a joke, you have shit tier taste in comedy no offense
Austrian Parrots and Babylon Bee sound like a dope NFT project I'm gonna message my dad for funding brb
Starlink enables access to essential online services and resources for rural communities that have historically gone unserved by traditional internet service providers. With Starlink, virtual doctor visits and remote learning are now possible for rural communities and students across the globe, including the Ector County Independent School District in Texas, the Wise County Public School District in Virginia, the Cherokee Nation in Oklahoma, Navajo Nation student homes in Arizona, First Nation homes and schools in rural Ontario and Manitoba, Canada, and remote schools in Sotomó and Calete Sierra, Chile, among many others.
Man, you’re one gigantic piece of shit. If you feel the need to say “I know that sounds like a dickish thing to say, but…” and then still say it, you’re the asshole. It’s also not true in the slightest. Unless there’s some Webster’s White Collar Douchebag Edition I’ve missed.
Whammy is pretty dull. In the climate thread he thought I was personally a climate refugee. He couldn't envision that I was putting myself in the shoes of people who already were refugees.
Not only are our resident crypto boys terribly dim, they're also incapable of not responding and their responses get dumber and dumber.
Watching the same half dozen of you carry over your issues with posters from thread to thread and result to name calling is fascinating The little effort to post the dumb and dumber responses to the same crowd so they get angry and repetitive on a Friday morning is worth it tbh Some of you have an impressively large diction though. They must wordle.
We know, you don't have to try hard to post dumb shit and you think you're nailing it. Way to go, guy on the board who everyone thinks is an asshat. You're doing a great job.
I don't think Penguin The Duck is an asshat, even though I don't like or want to trade crypto/NFT. People on this board love to insult strangers and it's sad.
Dumber than the “kill all rich people” or “this person will shoot up a building” responses? Because boy are those dumb. Also do the responses bother you? Or is it the fact that the resident crypto bros have made money? I’ll add a lol at “they respond to posts!” This is a message board. Kinda the point no?
When I worked in an office, I always brought my lunch and made coffee at home. Lifehack is living a frugal lifestyle to save money, and that's how I bought a house.
I was on an avocado toast diet every morning for like 6 months after having higher than average cholesterol a few years back, but that shit got old. I think a 6 count of avocados at Costco use to be like $4.99
it's a meme because of the inane NY Times opinion pieces that reduced millennials inability to buy a home to the fact that they ate avocado toast. your post was similarly reductive.
