Invest in poor people?
Why? So they can create more poor people?
It is not the job of the US people to take care of all the world’s poor. We have contributed voluntarily and generously for many decades. But, in a more modern post-ww2 world, there are many more countries who have gained wealth, thanks the US, and that are able to also contribute now. So let them.
Meanwhile, millions of Americans are dying without decent pay for manufacturing employment, without enough business competition (prices, regulations) and consequently, housing and needed medical treatments (lack of competition). It seems that some of the plutocrats are intent on further increasing populations in un-developing countries and cramming them into the States while trying to exterminate us with counterproductive regulations and tyrannical social policies.
Maybe it’s part of their natural urge to keep potential domestic business competition from rising, and we’re obviously it.
They invest in people who oppose technically inclined men and women of ingenuity. ...not only speaking of electronic entertainment gadgets but speaking of all technologies including seemingly low technologies for housing, energy and mechanics. For example, we don’t need PhD. engineers to build low cost, energy efficient, tornado resistant houses, and we don’t need cars that drive for us or entertain us.
Most of the useful improvements in machines and houses came from technicians (AKA tradesmen and hobbyists). Managers and investors are better at taking credit for inventions than inventing.
