Keep wasting that money, Bill

Quartz

Bill Gates and investors worth $170 billion have a new fund to fight climate...

Perhaps the richest pool of investors ever assembled has come together to save the environment.

I see nothing wrong in investing in efforts of filtering out pollution and finding cost-effective alternative sources of energy.

Then I’m sure you won’t have a problem clicking this one. Doesn’t change anything, a fact is a fact on who he is picking in his board of directors.

So is eating, looking both ways when you cross the road and going to a doctor when you’re sick or injured, what’s wrong with doing it as a species?

Climate change will never be curtailed by innovation. It will be curtailed by disruption and sheer desperation.

its wrong when

1st world countries adopt said technology and then freely allow the exportation of jobs to poor countries
Situations like you have in Germany, where the government subsidisies energy production becasue they not only pay other countries to buy their excessive energy thats generated at the wrong time thanks to solar and wind, but have to buy energy from other european states with no energy restrictions.
1st world contries try and force 3rd world countries to adopt and are willing to subsidize the full costs of doing so.

why do we let this bastards live

This graphic doesn’t take into account inflation. $40k of 1963 money is equal to about $316k of today’s money. So it’s actually gone down if you think about it.

If you look at the footnote, it is all in 2013 dollars. Which makes sense, because otherwise the median 1963 household was ridiculously wealthy.

Not to mention that, even if it weren’t, the gap is the bigger issue regardless. I mean, fuck, look at that gap between 50th and 90th alone. :wasted:

Ah, I didn’t see that, good looking out. Even so, the cost of living is higher now than it was then, so there’s also that. $40k of whatever money will buy more in 1963 than $80k will now.

Where did you hear about Trump not going after Hillary or not going to build the wall?

There is a ton of misinformation out there.
But basically it is not Trumps job to go after the Clintons. It’ll be up to his cabinet and specifically his attorney general. He is taking heat off himself by doing so. Behind closed doors he can push for an indictment but continuing to do so publically is suicide especially when people who go against the Clintons end up mysteriously dying all the damn time.

Is this actually true cuz I heard that was one of those “fake news” things. I kinda want it to be true cuz that shit makes her seem pretty bad ass.

Yeah its true.

There is a whole actual list of people who just mysteriously died including a staffer recently who died in an armed robbery even though he still has all his cash on him lol he was leaking stuff about Hillary’s corruption

Major news networks are shit.

To the people who said uhh noo on my post and disagreed,… why dont you look into stuff like Micheal Hastings from 3 years ago?
People get KILLED for investigating the truth… Keep believing the government is all sunshine and rainbows. CIA kills people, overthrows governments and the politicians go along with it. Atleast some of the most powerful ones do like the Clintons

If you have a gf that discusses politics you fucked up

I thought this read “a gif that discusses politics” and was like “yes, exactly this” but then reread it and was sad. I believe women have the right to vote in this country. Maybe it sucks where you live? Sorry to hear it.

dab00g · 2016-12-13T00:38:56.000Z

What? I do not want to discuss politics at home. I just nod and agree. You say one thing and it blows up.

This is relationships

voodazz · 2016-12-13T00:44:49.000Z

I ain’t no fancy pants educated political expert or nothin’, but this CIA discovering Russian interference in the election is serious stuff isn’t it? Or is this just going to be swept under the rug like the disastrous war on drugs?

ShinjiGohan · 2016-12-13T00:49:12.000Z

I’m still waiting to see what evidence they have of interference. IP addresses? That can’t or weren’t covered by a VPN? Of course dems could have put a mole in Russia to fake the hack as well. Or used a VPN to make it look like Russia hacked voting machines or whatever.

But so far all I see is CIA or some democrat citing “overwhelming evidence” with nothing to show for it.

Hope you’re good at hacking government emails. I would say that we should take the CIA’s word but we all know that’s not happening.

This all seems like some pretense to make moves on Russia and we all know that’s not going to go well. There’s probably some corporate related reason why we’re against them. One good thing about Trump getting elected is that he’ll likely smooth over that relationship.

Still, the US doesn’t get to be butthurt about some other country fucking with our elections (if that’s indeed what happened) when we’ve been doing the exact same shit for decades. Crocodile tears.
