...although it's very clear that oblivious types living in a rarefied world of which close to 7 billion people couldn't even dream - including the more than two billion people who lack basic sanitation - admire the screw-off.
It's telling, I think, that this is the sort of person who is admired by the useless "solar will save us" crowd, since in places like Germany they're using their wealth induced power to transfer even more money from the poor to the wealthy, by raising electricity prices to the luxury level and giving big tax breaks to landowners with toxic solar junk on their roofs.
With this sort it's all BMW's and Teslas and other crap that has no relevance to the people described in this link: Facts and figures: Water, sanitation and hygiene links to health
The numbers in this link blow the mind:
...500 million people are at risk from trachoma. 146 million are threatened by blindness.
In 2000, 2.4 billion people lacked access to improved sanitation. 81% of these were in rural areas.
In 2000, 1.1 billion people lacked access to improved water sources. 86% of these were in rural areas...
But let's not talk about these people; let's not hear them.
It's much more exciting to listen to some boring billionaire who builds cars for other billionaires (with a few millionaires thrown in for fun) so they can feel glib the environmentally disastrous car CULTure, and enterprise sustained by poor people who have to dig lanthanides and cadmium and tellurium for the amusement of the rich.
Many of uber rich are disgusting, given how clueless they are.
What is more disgusting is the types who worship them.
How many of these toxic grease buckets called "cars" are Teslas on this planet. 1.0%? 0.5%? 0.025%?
How much relevance does it have for the billions who suffer to make the rich rich?
History, should it survive it, will not forgive this ignorance.
