I’ll bet he dies before he rids their world of all disease. I would bet that we all will.

And i bet he has all the plans and projections of building his city in space, Elysium.

Where all diseases are cured by an autodoc.

The death rate is still one apiece. It will remain that way.

I very much dislike some of Zukerberg’s business policies...
and politics....

but if this article is accurate, at least he is trying to give his $$$ to causes that benefit people

compare this with Soros, who uses his money in so many evil and destructive ways I can’t possibly begin to even discuss them all here.

curing human diseases? Good For Z!

If he’s serious I’ll give him credit for bringing it up and making the offer. More than any other billionaire has proposed so far.

I wish he’d “rid the world” of himself.

The dude is a pompous, self-admiring do-gooder with an overinflated sense of his importance.

Hardship builds wisdom. I doubt Zuck the shmuck has had to face much hardship and with his billions he’ll never have to face any. So when he hits forty he’ll still be quite a baby I bet. Just an immature baby with a lot of money to blow. And He ain’t taking one penny with him.

Some people think they are God. Man has made progress on curing and helping some diseases, but there will always be new ones. I’m not being pessimistic, I just think that’s a scientific reality. But good for him if he wants to spend his money on actual research and/or actual results.

All that money will go into “Foundations”: His own, Bill Gates’, The Clinton’s. He will get a tax write off on all of it, and most of it will seep back into his own pockets after his co-conspirators take their cut.

If he really wanted to do something useful to ease suffering with it he would donate it to St. Jude’s Hospital or something similar.

Three billion dollars would also just about cover the increased healthcare costs in one medium sized American town for one year, due to his buddy Barry’s insurance scam.

If you are not part of the solution, there is good money to be made prolonging the problem

Zucker IS a disease, and thus he should rid the world of himself.
