3410 - Billionaire talk
I know I know! It's a long video. 20 minutes. Excruciatingly long for the blogosphere. But here is a billionaire talking about the need for the middle class to make a living wage. It's a TED talk.

And then I found an article knocking the TED talk and sticking up for the billionaires.

Sheesh, I about cooked in your part of the country last week....the humidity! We have lots of heat in the Hill Country as well, but not as much as Austin, San Antonio and Houston. High in Austin is supposed to be 102, with a head index making it 112! Yikes.
The rest of us would applaud a living wage for all. There's a lot of folks living marginally here.
I am a poorionaire and would give a talk.
I'm on Nick's side - and thank you for the work diversion.
Work is supposed to be rewarded in America
