    So this happened. At #Wired25 @JeffBezos laid out a vision of entrepreneur-heroes solving our biggest shared problems. I called for a world in which Bezoses have less 💰 to give away, in which democracy drives change instead. But we also had a moment of civil, candid exchange.pic.twitter.com/HGFqXTnMUR

        At the same time this was posted I got a news alert from WIRED that Bezos wants to send people to space ... because lack of suborbital tourism is one of the greatest problems facing humanity in 2018.

        He's right, we have to find another planet because this one will soon be unlivable, from a political and environmental point of view, which other problem could be more urgent? 🤔

        Who’s gonna prep the food, wash the clothes, clean the homes of ultra-rich? They will be the only ones who will be able to afford to leave the planet.

        They'll have robots and eat powders and pills! I wouldn't want to be rich, but I was being sarcastic. I fully agree with you, sending people to space is just a big waste of resources at a time when we need so much of them 😉

        I’m with you Anand. The rich guys seem to think it’s best if they decide what’s best for the rest.

        A country on the right track would not have a Bezos or a minimum wage worker afraid to go to the bathroom at work. Only in broken countries will you find that scenario.

        So glad this happened. I’ve been hoping someone could speak to him regarding this or get his hands on some @NCRP reports. Glad you tried to break it down for him.

        Bezos is the adopted son of a Cuban Immigrant who reached this country with nothing but his high school education and a single mother. What he has achieved has been on his own! By his own efforts. Not handed down to him. So not sure what problem you have with that.

        One of the best things about @wired and #wired25 overall was the balanced, thoughtful content. Many views were presented and all were heard respectfully
