@scottdesno @KennyBallentine @SusanSarandon When they do, their investors let them know. If a company is harming people for the sake of its investors, as is alleged in the trailer, it is the investors that make corrections.

[Jamie Horan @JamieHo98208741]

@scottdesno @KennyBallentine @SusanSarandon To reduce the motives of any group of people to selfishness is foolish. Firstly, most bad actors in the marketplace fail. Most people know this and avoid them. It does happen, that dishonest startups lure nacent & seasoned investors. It also happens that estab. Co.s err. 4/

@scottdesno @KennyBallentine @SusanSarandon Most of my coworkers, with few exceptions, didn't invest purely for reasons of financial gain. It was not greed but a willingness to aid in the success of a company whose mission, in principal, aligned with our own. I for my part, I want them to succeed and I wager they will. 3/

@scottdesno @KennyBallentine @SusanSarandon On the occasions that I've invested in companies, even if they were part of a company provided, contributory IRA, I made choices based on what kinds of companies they were. What was their mission? How were they fulfilling that mission? That's normal. 2/

@scottdesno @KennyBallentine @SusanSarandon I'll have to catch it, but I can tell you this. From the trailer, I'm immediately led to believe that it leaves much of the actual story out, and ascribes malevolent motives to those who invest. 1/

[Jamie Horan @JamieHo98208741]

@jk_rowling Indeed. Many many of those. Though we're not in the same place in terms of success, we share that ethic. I read your work in my 50s. Like so many others, I found it clever, funny and eminently readable. So much for demographics.

Not sure what stage of your life you're in, and I'm not prying, but in my opinion, you fit the bill. Not easy, though. Lots of study (STEM, IT, Avionics, Physics, etc) and training. Not for the timid.

I tend to feel guilty if I don't. Im in the habit, though, of not running the faucet when I'm brushing. Yes. I'm that guy. I wet the brush, then OFF, then fill a small cup. Drives me nuts when my son lets it run. Hah.

The good news is that this one, unlike East Palestine, Oh, has had no environmental impact. No toxins, no evacuations, etc. Lucky. Usually the trains carry oil. 3/

It is not clear if the train derailed and caused the collapse of the bridge, or the bridge collapsed and caused the derailment. The NTSB will sort it out. 2/

It's not the asphalt or the sulphur that worries me. It's the seismic disturbance. When that thing blows, we're not going to be discussing or debating anthropogenic climate change. 1/

Did we wait? No. 50 years ago, we developed desalination technology, now so improved, that many areas of the world rely on it for water. Go humans.

Like many other things, we cause, learn, and reverse, not only issues we, by our nature to improve, create, but other areas we have no hand in creating. The Earth, for example, is mostly water. Only 3% or so is actually, by nature's hand, drinkable. 1/

[Jamie Horan @JamieHo98208741]

@JoeBiden Ah, no Mr. President. That was the Supreme Court, who rightly put the issue in the hands of the states. You know, those 50 sovereign governments that make up the country. Now take your warm milk and have a lie down.

Not the 3% from your payroll tax. It might be worth your time also, to look into what portion of our annual tax revenue is contributed by the top quintile of earners.

I presumed, by your description, that it was a documentary of some kind. No?
