That's for sure, and private sector money gets the job done. Government money mostly helps politicians and their wealthy handlers.

Can't argue with that. But stopping tax evasion is one side of the problem of debt, curtailing government spending is the other.
Lifting kids out of poverty sounds good and should be done, but how? I know from experience that schools and churches help, and maybe paying the parents a decent wage is the answer?

He could give it to the U.S. to help pay down the debt. But we all know the money would be pissed away on some other stupid project the government can't resist wasting money on because it isn't coming out of the politicians' own pocket. In their mind, there is plenty more where that came from, and when they run out, just print more.
You bring up an interesting question. Would the money be better spent on H****r or the treasury ? At least with H****r you know it wouldn't be wasted on saving the planet or welfare. Those hookers work hard for their money. I bet Papa Joe doesn't send them any money.

Unfortunately it is not tax evasion. We need to restructure the tax codes and eliminate the loopholes to make everyone pay their fair share.

I h**e to admit at first I missed the obvious. Since I am bald I was about to agree on that being a worthy cause, and then I thought, duh, Jeff Bezos is really really bald. Some days I am in the fog.

We won’t be around to see industries in space, but I think that could help with c*****e c****es. But finding habitable planets should also be a priority.
We can not take care of this World why go trying to take another down???
The challenge to forge through in space has always been intriguing but to actually achieve it without having all the specifics near impossible I suspect.. Temporary space stations give hope for more is all it does, while it teases or heightens the dream tho and a great dream it is... The only limits we have are those we impose on ourself, right???
All it really boils down to is a discussion stage... Guess we need to think ahead, not doing well with our limited capacity to learn or study the vastness of this amazing Universe..Time alone getting to other plants. ??? How do we fill these planets with wh**ever would be needed to sustain a Civilization on one of these other planets?..
Or how about a parallel universe — where the rules of physics are opposite of our own...plausible?? Recently reading about a cosmic ray detection experiment that has found particles that could be from a parallel realm that also was born in the Big Bang...??? The Big bang het another topic of great interest...
You say: “industries in space, but I think that could help with c*****e c****es.” Isn’t it the industries on earth that have created the alleged CO2 issue where we are working towards nothing that is good, if you believe the reports put out, sponsored by your green deal people, who are looking for that green deal to be as much green dollars in their pockets. ??? For some reason that suggestion belies finding or “needing another planet if all we’re going to do is to start off with is another planet lost to our greed...??
I don’t know, just not something that can be addressed in a post or 100.....
Now researching other planets ever so intriguing and challenging...⚡️👍

No they can not.. Heck, NASA has a training gravity room in their Cape Canaveral base... Seen it, been in it... years back when my Grandfather worked for them..An electrical Engineer...
The chamber was on the tour but you weren’t allowed to do anything but look in through the windows. But since I wasn’t on tour, well let’s just say it was a cool minute and a half....

With 95% of Europe living in abject poverty, explorers set out to discover new worlds. It’s what humans do.

We can’t limit our thinking by our present understanding. Private people are doing space travel, it’s a whole new world.

They are the problem... Greed and dominance, why promote a better Earth if you can go play in the clouds and have just a 3 way race to surpass sub-orbit and call it a win....Musk, Bezos, Branson hitting sub orbit is not “ space” but hey they plan on capitalizing on it for sure...And Bezos got some 28 mill from his passenger?? Musk and Brandon 400k a trip?? They aren’t looking for other planets to invest in they just want to “take you for a ride”... I think Musk Obviously has different plans tho, hitting International space station and colonize Mars....Lord help us if he did, but not hardly likely in this life time anyway...

Until we can break the light barrier, it's all just a pipedream, kind of like getting rid of f****l f**ls and having all vehicles electric.
Habitable planets are many years away, even at light speed.

I agree, that's why I said, our only limitations we have are those we impose on ourselves ..👍
Nor was I trying to limit the possibilities by the” thinking of our present understanding. I was just throwing out some challenges to it all and things that show the need for a lot more knowledge than what we know...

They do and have all through history... They are now just moving it off this “ flat earth.” 😉
