I stopped listening to Bill Gates years ago. You should stop too.
Instead, I would listen to *real* experts who know about *real* climate solutions — not tech fantasies.
You would then quickly see how these solutions can improve lives and help vulnerable communities thrive across the world.

One thing that’s been wild about Mamdani’s candidacy is that so many liberals are now seeing what the MENA and Muslim population have had to live with our entire lives. That even other minorities can turn to Islamophobia and racism, that even the most liberal yt folks do too. As he said, (con)

There’s about a million reasons to not buy from Amazon but hers one more.
Amazon's plan to replace 600,000 workers with AI and robots could save it $10 billion on top of billions more in tax breaks.
Today, I demanded answers from Jeff Bezos: Will you simply dump these workers out on the street, or will you treat them with the dignity they deserve?
