How Silicon Valley's billionaires are trying to defy death
2015-05-04
So, let me get this straight.

People who constantly nag us about resources depletion are going to enhance their consumption footprint 2x.

Hollywood and Silicon Valley deserve each other.
Research always pays out, either by discovering something new or by not discovering something new. And I'd rather lots of individuals funding different approaches because of their different interests than the government funding only those things that the current consensus agrees with.

#10  NO! They should not spend their money on things like this. They should not will their fortunes to caharity, like Bill Gates and Warren Buffet did. They should give it to the government, through taxes and death taxes! The government knows the best way to spend our their money.

#8  I don't think Soros is going to make it in time. I'm not even sure that he is a billionaire any more since he owes Uncle something like $7 billion in back taxes.
