Jimmy Carter. Fuck the Media. :)

 

Obviously everyone knows he passed away. 

He was one of the best human beings to ever walk this planet. 

The media is pissing me off as they're going through the motions, creating headlines, getting clicks and traffic, pretending they care, though they've largely ignored this fantastic human being, who was also a good president (those that say otherwise are uneducated or clueless) for years/decades. I mean, I probably have more blog posts about him the last, what...pushing 10 years than some of the media does...those bastard hypocrites. 

A brief sampling:

Anyway, just one example of his ideology, lifes work, altruism and concern for humanity.

Guinea worm disease is a parasitic infection contracted when people consume water from stagnant sources contaminated with the Guinea worm larvae. After about a year of incubation, the Guinea worm creates an agonizingly painful lesion on the skin and slowly emerges from the body. When the Carter Center began their work in the fight against Guinea worm disease, there were 3.5 million cases in roughly 21 countries. LifeStraw partnered with The Carter Center to design a simple mesh filter to remove Guinea worm larvae from drinking water. At the time, there were more than 100,000 cases in 18 countries spanning Africa, South Asia and the Middle East. In 2020, LifeStraw donated 390,500 LifeStraw Guinea worm filters to The Carter Center for use in five countries. By the end of 2021, there were only 15 human cases reported in four countries. Since the partnership’s inception, LifeStraw has provided The Carter Center with more than 40 million filters.

Jimmy Carter refused to allow *anyone* to make a single penny profit off of this, not one penny.

Trump, Musk, Jeff Bezos, Tim Cook, Zuckerberg, the GOP would have tried to charge $100 or $5000 per unit if they could, but then none of them gives a single fuck about humanity, so they never would have been involved to begin with. 

 

Anyway, this is just me venting.   :)
