Here’s an investment “opportunity” for people who don’t understand that:

1) Biodegradable plastic has been the object of scientists’ attention for at least half a century.

2) “Water-soluble” plastic faces a number of challenges.  One is based on the fact that plastic bottles normally contain liquids that are mainly water.  Sure, we don’t want our plastic bottles to last 1000 years, but precisely how soon should the degrade?  If we’re talking about milk, which goes bad in a week or so, the answer might be a month or so.  If we’re storing drinking water an emergency, we don’t want the bottles to fall apart for at least a few years.

As we encounter so frequently, this is just another attempt to rip off ignorant people.

I’m not a financial pro, but here’s some advice:

Don’t live on a budget.  Make a lot of money and live far beneath your means.  What value does luxury actually bring to your life, especially if it makes you nervous about running out of cash?

As I told my kids when they were growing up, “Unless you’re completely shallow, showing off your money is an idiotic thing to do.  You make false friends and have people glomming onto you to sell you stuff you really don’t need.”

Warren Buffett still lives in a modest house in Nebraska, a state in which he could buy an entire country.  Maybe there is something about him and his values that could benefit you.

LOL.

What’s Wrong with Human Civilization?

It’s possible that right now, there are other civilizations observing the human race, studying us from afar, and noticing our decline into savagery and eventual extinction by turning billionaires into trillionaires.

People say that the principal weakness of human beings is that we can’t plan for the future as a species.  Dogs are arguably even worse, though they aren’t consumed with greed.  They don’t plot the starvation of millions of other dogs so they themselves can have enough food to last a billion years.

As an elderly man, I’ll be leaving this planet soon, but I won’t cease pondering this until my heart stops beating.
