I am still a student so donated $50. I know its not much but neverthless. PHP is the first language that I ever learnt and it has had a great influence on my life. Thank you for everything you've done Richard. Please spend the rest of your days peacefully.

You donated more than me.. and I am employed , shame on me.

Can someone who knows this guy set up a Crowdtilt page for him? Charitable campaigns do really well there.

I work for Crowdtilt -- if someone who knows Richard can contact me (lebel at crowdtilt dot com), I can help get a campaign set up with all fees waived.

I have a text message to him -- waiting on reply. I'll let you know ASAP what he comes back with!

I'm against public healthcare in the USA because there's no way (in the current political climate) it won't be massively corrupt. Did you know the insurance companies were lobbying in favor of our new system? It's still about corporations making profits.

massively corrupt The data, comparative experiences, and commons sense, disagrees with you. Single payer is easier to audit. Because it's more simple.

of course! Centralized economic solutions always work the best. The USSR is the best example of that. You people go back to coding and leave economics to economists.

Could someone he trusts and someone capable of setting up a cryptocurrency account do so for him? I imagine a community like Dogecoin would help any way that they can.

I know him well enough... is there some type of crowdtilt for cryptocurrency page we can setup?

That is simply not true.

Centralized economic solutions work better for some things. Free market soluctions work for other types of things.

The USSR was a dictatorship where everything was managed by the State. This is not what it is being proposed.

People against universal healthcare are just good people who are confused and/or deluded. Their arguments will never really add up because it's only about corporations making profits and to that end people will need to be deluded and manipulated into believing that we shouldn't implement a proper system. Just remember this when you say you don't get it: it's just the political power of traitors speaking through human…

I'm brazilian...

You can't, and should not, ever; spoke about corruption on a media were a south american/african could read you. US got corruption? We got it worst! Much much much worst. Worst in a level were the King of Soccer (Pelé) can say on national television that the money that would be stealed during the construction of the stadiums for the world cup would came back as tourists money.

And, beside that... we have universal health care. (It's not fancy nor without big lines of people or up to 5 hours waiting to a doctor but it exists, and works. Specially for serious illnes like cancer, HIV or Hepatitis).

Richard called me back and asked that we use his wife's e-mail -- sunshinysmile08@att.net -- if you want to setup a wallet or e-mail her instructions on how to setup a wallet that would be awesome!
