Jesus Christ, money really turns you into a complete sociopath, doesn’t it?
It’s just material interests, it’s why capitalism isn’t some moral failing, but a systemic issue - affordable housing being built likely would lower the value of his investments. Same reason all the celebs are hopping on crypto: they’ve already all been investing in various ways without much care for anything but ROI, since that’s just… what you do when you have money under capitalism. Anyone who doesn’t do these things doesn’t stay rich.
So yeah, money really does do that to you.

this is a big part of y so many in hong kong r forced 2 live in small spaces aka ‘cardboard boxes’
hong kong real estate moguls r literally funding separatists 2 scream abt imaginary oppression n ‘democracy’ just 2 appeal 2 white ppl
when in fact it is these same moguls who r afraid of the hk govt coming in n possibly seizing land in order 2 build affordable housing 2 help the people of hk
after the 2019 failed color revolution, the govt of hk is doing just that — drawing up plans 2 build affordable housing. n cos china is socialist, this will happen
tl;dr we all share the same problem, it is called ‘capitalism’
Best part is? We can predict these types of solar events and storms in advance. Like, over a day in advance usually.

So Starlink decided to ignore those warnings and launch anyways.
So they’re space garbage now and adding to the debris up there. Putting the money this cost into a pile and setting it on fire would have literally been a better use of it.
Don’t worry, these ones won’t be space garbage! The storm pushed them too far down to enter an effective orbit, so they’re going to fall back to Earth and burn up in the atmosphere. So, setting it all on fire directly would’ve been faster, but this will have some cool light shows in the sky at least.
