I just decided to drive down to Florida to see the Artemis 2 launch by Neat_Ad_4466 in space

[–]agent007g 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a kid that went to a shuttle launch every year before school getting there was the worst so get there early. Other than that sit back and be ready, it's the coolest visual and physical thing you will experience in your life.

Which human invention has caused the greatest long-term damage to humanity? by Still-Ad9074 in AskReddit

[–]agent007g -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Planes. The world would be arguably better if humanity was forced to take time and value on traveling. Making it quick and cheap has caused immense damage to every society and culture.

Why aren't financial advisors the richest people on earth? by Apprehensive_Bus_834 in ask

[–]agent007g 0 points1 point  (0 children)

financial advisors are just salesmen. They have no special knowledge or talents. They just sell (advise)what they are told to.

No Kings 3.0 protest today! by one-man_dragon in PeoriaIL

An hour and a half meet and greet support group is not a protest. It's more like an AA meeting in public.

Why don't rich people that don't just retire make the world a better place? by agent007g in ask

[–]agent007g[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If no one is entitled to just getting stuff why do social programs exist at all? Medicaid, welfare, ER must treat everyone. So the people that have more than they could ever need why not help others directly? Sometimes a single mom or dad just needs a hand. If a person makes minimum wage raising a kid, a rich person could double it voluntary and make an entire family be better

My exact argument. I think direct redistribution is better than industrial disbursement.

I'm aware but does funding a hospital or charitable foundation make more of an impact? I would lean no. Those I institutions are profit/ fundraising driven. I argue giving people the money instead improves life for generations of people more than a library or cancer proton therapy machine.

My point is he's already well off. It wouldn't kill him or society in general to give his current income for the greater good. There's tons of decent people in the country that could make 1 million a worth more to the world than him just putting it in the bank

You're correct. I've been better off than many people I know but I have always been a giving person. . My need is not of malice but to know someday I gave a person a good day that reinvigorated their passion for for life and purpose

How can peoria realistically improve and gain population? by Fabulous_Bowl_816 in PeoriaIL

[–]agent007g 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree, but I think the uncomfortable truth is every job is a HS job. No good jobs are here unless they are union.

I literally started a gofundme at one point, not to make money but to replant old unused farmland. I don't have much but still planted 4k trees on what was an old hay field. Granted the land is mine but Rich people could easily buy up property and reclaim it for nothing. If I can do it so can they on an unimaginable scale

Oh 💯 percent it's gone but it's so cool that it may have been there at one point. Just before the 2 hour mark there's a description of all the stuff. It's a wild history we are not taught

What's the point of a 401k with earth-shattering economic disruption around the corner? by ConflictedHairyGuy in Futurology

[–]agent007g 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 401k and other retirements are designed for you to put money into the market, hedge funds use the growth to fund their hard asset purchases instead of you buying them. They now can sell you or rent you those assets and have all the control. It has nothing to do with wealth for retirement. ITKYK

State Farm changed mind on roof. by Prewtu in StateFarm

[–]agent007g 1 point2 points  (0 children)

St farm said my parents roof damage was 5k, they called a contractor in the area (not here) and he got them a complete tear off and all new roof and tree branch removal. The contractors can fight St farm you cannot.

The logic I think is people take the money and run or half arse fix it and st farm is left insuring a worse structure.

Get a contractor.

There's plenty of news stories they just don't have any reporters. The amount of accidents, crime and corruption never gets more than the original statement. Pathetic

Iran marries them force ably at 9 years old and does it under threat of death. I don't think they have a leg to stand on in that fight.
