Bill Gates also gives a huge sum of money to Charity and charitable causes. MacKenzie Scott is another. You can believe the super rich don't pay their fair share and not think "all super-rich are evil."

Most reasonable people dont think binary like that.

I'd also like to point out that it's entirely possible for someone to give large sums to charitable causes, yet still be an evil piece of work. Especially if those large sums don't affect you whatsoever financially.

Speaking of ships carrying food and sinking on their way to MX: edam cheese is very popular here in the Yucatán Peninsula, so much that it has been incorporated in traditional cuisine. We call it "queso de bola" (cheese ball) because it is sold in the shape of a ball. The lore says that a Dutch ship carrying the cheese was sunk off the coast of Campeche (which was a pirate hub just off the Caribbean) in the late 1800's, and the cheese floated onto the coast of Yucatán, where people picked them up, and acquired a taste for it.

Yes indeed I did borrow that take from one of your posts. I did not give credit at the time of my post, and I am remorse.

It's the fact that the US, Canada and UK are throwing immense resources at several "risk taking adventurer" millionaires while countries ignore those taking risk in search of just the opportunity for a better life.

The reason that many are interested is the allure of rich people doing rich people things. I mean a father paid $500,000 for he and his son to travel down 12000 ft to see a ship wreck that holds no real value other than to say I've seen it.

The Titanic, even in its deep, north Atlantic watery grave, both have strong, immense historical, cultural fascination, and value even though the vessel sunk over 111 years ago. Its construction, kind of came from a dare from a fellow, competitive British ship-builder over dinner one night in London in 1905 or 1906 and its builders, engineers, dock workers all labored away to build the largest, biggest, most expansive passenger cruise vessel ever. Its designs, beams, engines, hulls, hatches were designed and crafted to make it "unsinkable", not even by God. It was the twilight high mark of the Edwardian Age, the last gasp of the Eurocentric pre-WWI Gilded Age, a period where science, technology, boundless new resources, territories, innovations was supposed to usher in a new utopian worldwide Golden Age.

It was a time of boundless opportunism, confidence, unshakeable belief in modern science, rationality, human progress that to many historians now, seems borderline delusional, extremely naive, and terribly short-sighted. It was a period thats very difficult to articulate to many living today because we live in such a polarized world, some politicians or world leaders believed war itself, in 1912, was obsolete, a few even dared to dream even further and argued for a one-world government.

The Titanic was the accumulation, or the living, physical embodiement of these heady dreams, aspirations, and futuristic fantasies and when it hit that iceberg, and slowly, then gradually sank into the cold, icy North Atlantic, it damaged, if not partially shattered these widely-held, core values and beliefs about the uninterrupted dream of technological progress, unmatched innovation and mastery over nature itself.

It's a Fascist government run by an actual Mussolini. I don't have high hopes.

How is it traditionally prepared/consumed there? I once worked with a guy from the Philippines who told me it was part of his family's Christmas tradition. IIRC, he said they ate it as-is and also with some meats like ham.

In a variety of ways... I guess the most "traditional" is stuffing it with meat and baking it, like a chile relleno, but queso relleno; sprinkled on Motul style eggs; baked into sweet bread; some make queso de bola ice cream... there is also a "traditional" treat called "marquesita", which is a rolled waffle (waffle like a waffle cone) stuffed with queso de bola.

We're all still waiting for a rich person to cure cancer, but the crackhead probably still has better odds
