129B masks per month is 16 masks for every man, woman, and child on Earth. That's a new mask every other day for everyone.

I used disposable masks for a week or more each. Then I switched to cloth masks, and disposed of no more.

The real number is likely a tenth of what they estimate.

That's nice.

Meanwhile, the government has $31 Trillion in debt.

Is it sensible to be spending tax dollars on something SpaceX is already doing with private dollars?

whatever they do for money, the largest share of their productivity will go to the shareholders of their employers.

44% of American GDP goes to salaries and wages.

13% is profit.

Rather than sit on the sidelines and whining, young people should be working hard and investing their savings to become part of the owner class.
