It's going to be a battle between putting capitalism marginally aside
and keeping humanity a going concern.

I laugh when I see the news and hear some countries talking about how
they are first to do this and the first do that, or the first to help
this and the first to help, or the first to discover this and the first
to discover that re: the Coronavirus. Okay, you're the first, and then
what? What good is you being #1 if I am too poor or too dead to buy any
of your #1'ness? But I digress.

The world has been at 100% speed since 2010. This "forced leave" should
be used as a great opportunity to slow down, take a step back, and think
about what REALLY matters.

The companies that will survive and do well in the new economy (during
and post-Coronavirus) are not the ones that can gain the most profit,
but the ones that can gain the most profit while actually caring about
humanity, and offering real value (which = individual + company-wide
fulfillment)

Nothing against Mr. Gates, but let's not wait until we are 60+ to
realize all the billions we've made can actually make meaningful,
valuable difference, on a large scale.

I honestly don't think Multicast features anywhere on today's public
Internet.
