Should Elon Musk Sit Down With Bill Gates to Discuss Climate?

Image
The beef soup between Bill Gates and Elon Musk doesn't seem to be simmering down any time soon!  The two had a small online spat during the pandemic in 2020 but it seems that engine has revved up again recently when Bill Gates sat down with Bloomberg to discuss his climate tech investments and solutions.  These two men have tremendous influence, intelligence and resources that, when combined in partnership, could do so much good for the world.  The world will never know why the two businessmen choose to keep a distance.  It's actually a bit pitiful and kind of like watching a father and son throw digs at the other every so often.  They probably could learn a fair amount of knowledge from each other if they were to put their small differences aside. There are indicators that lead me to believe that the two would get along IRL if they were both willing to clear a time in their schedules, plan a meeting and have a serious discussion about matters that are near and dear to the bot

Today, I’m reviewing another pre-prepped meal delivery company called Gobble.  I learned about Gobble from my sister who had a friend that recommended it to her.  Her friend loved the fact that the foods were ethnic and very quick to prepare.   Gobble is similar to other pre-prepped meal delivery companies such as Hello Fresh and Green Chef. In the pre-prepped world of cooking, recipe ingredients arrive to your door already chopped, portioned or peeled. You’re simply responsible for cooking the chosen meals yourself.  If you are a seasoned chef or cook, then you know that this makes the work revolving around cooking extremely easy since most of your time is centered on prepping the ingredients that are needed.     Gobble offers three different menus: Classic, Vegetarian and Lean and Clean.  Classic offers a variety of meals, which include meat, poultry and fish. The vegetarian menu does not include meat items and the Lean and Clean menu incorporates meals made solely with protein and h
