Can you be more specific? I could have provided several links, not that anyone reads them. I looked for an AG site that covered as much as possible.
So, you knew about Trumps Biotechnology and Ai EO? And how that is being implemented in AG? Or does it bother you it lacks the doom and gloom aspect? I found your comment confusing.

Whether it’s fantasy or not, it is what Bill Gates believed in 2011. So it puts his later comment about doing a good job with vaccines and healthcare to reduce population growth into perspective. They aren’t killing people with vaccines or healthcare.

Now reproductive health might be a different story. If they are pushing preventives that’s one thing, abortion is another.

“A spokesperson for the firm declined to comment on specific land holdings to The Land Report, except to say it is “very supportive of sustainable(that nifty buzz word) farming.””

This is your only tie in on Trump’s executive order, drawn from the first link which is packed full of climate change and fake meat and there’s no mention of taking advantage of the EO, only indications they don’t want to talk about it. Your other 2 links are the EO, nuttin’ about the Gates embracing it.

In the mid-2030s, Bill Gates will only be 80.

Let's say Musk successfully Mars-shot all the sweet Hohmann transfer slots in the late 20s and early 30s, Man has set foot on Mars and returned, and we are up to 4 flights a year to Mars and 2 return flights back. Musk has a primitive above-ground habitat that can hold 75, where we are making our own oxygen, water, and food; he also has supply reserves in orbit that can serve as return vehicles; and meanwhile Musk's Boring Co robots are about to finish the below-ground settlement that will hold the first 1000 Martians.

Suddenly some amateur astronomer discovers an Earth-killing asteroid emerging from behind the Sun. Every satellite in the far-side Lagrange point missed it.

I guarantee you 2 things : Gates will be climbing over people on the gantry to get on one of the last 2 flights to Mars, and I will be there to curb-stomp that f'r right off the launch pad. *splat*

Presumptuous prick. Telling Elon (or anybody else) what to do. Who the hell does he think he is, anyhow?

"But he’s right that Elon is wasting money. Leave Mars alone and put your money into u.s. border security."

What is it with you Luddites? Ignorance and fear. Sad.
