Dolly Parton is proof that there are no ethical billionaires.

She would have been, but she was constantly giving her money to people less fortunate than she.

She is the example I judge all rich people by.

(PS: Madonna is another example)

Envy is very ugly and so are you.

Coventina doesn't worship Bill Gates's worldwide funding of vaccines and vaccinations?

Many millionaires and billionaires invest in philanthropic endeavors - that Coventina is ignorant of many of those endeavors does not mean the endeavors do not exist - others invest in businesses that create jobs. Most, like Dolly Parton, do both.

Coventina needs cartoon billionaires who keep their billions in money bins, like Donald Duck's Uncle Scrooge.

DUmpasses and left-wingers in general are just bitter because they have no workable method to take even more of what you own and re-distribute it to themselves. what they are leeching today is never enough and they think you and i should suffer consequences for collecting the fruits of your labors.
DUmpasses are always too busy eating dope gummies and smoking drugs to actually work for a living

Dolly Parton came from a deeply impoverished family and became famous and beloved.

I almost forgot this ... I wonder if coventina the Envious knows of Neuralink ... and who one of its main founders/funders is.

https://neuralink.com

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuralink

As I frequently and aptly demonstrate hereabouts, I'm no genius. With that stated, I do not see how Neuralink has a path to being profitable: very limited market niche; very unique user situations/conditions; very expensive technology to be developed; all but certain long development time line.

IOW, Neuralink looks to be a charitable creation that, if successful, could grow to the scale of Danny Thomas's St. Jude's.

Neuralink Blindsight Trial: What to Expect in the First Human Vision Implants

https://www.neurapod.com/blog/neuralink-blindsight-human-trials-what-to-expect

Update, October 2026: Neuralink has not yet announced a Blindsight trial. Its visual prosthesis page still invites people to join the registry to be told when US trials launch.

What Neuralink's Blindsight is

Blindsight is Neuralink's second major product line, distinct from the Telepathy device currently implanted in PRIME and VOICE trial patients. Where Telepathy reads signals from the motor and speech cortices to translate intent into action, Blindsight works in the opposite direction: it writes information into the brain. Specifically, it stimulates neurons in the visual cortex to produce the sensation of sight.

The goal is ambitious. Neuralink has stated that Blindsight could eventually restore vision to people who have lost their sight through injury or disease, and even to people born blind, provided their visual cortex developed normally.

This company of Musk's so contradicts Progs' stereotyped image of billionaires that I would be utterly unsurprised if some Progs are trying to dissuade people who could be benefited from participating in the upcoming trial (and if some in the FDA are slow-walking the approval for the trial). Because Musk.
