I read everything Umair post here too. You know that he has tens of thousands of followers? He writes some good stuff and he writes some poor stuff. He is a propagandist for his cause. Yes, he wants a better world but he stretches the truth.

He has utopian visions, totally impractical or completely not going to happen. We need someone who understands the power of the possible. Someone with an achievable vision and the power to make it happen.

Someone like Elon Musk except instead of going to Mars, someone who will make Earth better. Someone who isn’t looking to change the Constitution, someone who is going to change the Real Economy. Say like someone who will bankroll the education 30 million doctors and nurses who will care for the poor because they want to help the poor not because the want a lot of money or because they have so much debt that they need big paychecks (or better yet build the schools/hospitals to train them).

Someone who will develop and make the life saving drugs that are needed and sell them at an affordable price knowing that they will probably lose money or not get paid back for decades.

Someone who has billions of dollars to lose or give away. I can only guess that the ultra rich have decided that their gluttonous behavior will not condemn them to hell. It seems that Gates and Buffett almost get it but only by half measures. They seem to think that their salvation is determined by how much they give away and not by the amount of their sacrifice, their charity causes them no pain.

Why are there so few private charity hospitals in this country. I had a dentist who would go to Belize each summer to do charity work. He would bring shoes for the kids and fix their teeth. Belize, please, I heard of a dental charity in the U.S. that each year does free dental care for the poor that can’t help everyone who needs help. I guess in Belize the poor aren’t spending the money the should use to fix their kid’s teeth on Beer and Cigarettes.

The people will not save the World, only a Savior can save the World, someone Huge but not Trump Like. We need a Billionaire Martin Luther King Jr. a Billionaire Mahatma Gandhi. I needs to be someone outside the Government who does not even want to get involved in the politics, just in the Actions.
