Is Bill Gates Still Planning on Cutting Down 70 Million Acres of Trees?

Hopefully, this mentality won't spread to Brazil & Canada.

Brazil still has plenty of room for growth without taking down more of its forests & jungles.

Canada also has plenty of room for growth and can still protect most of its forests while having a lumber industry.

Apple versus Microsoft

For many, Apple products will always a cut above the rest.

Once the PC market really started to catch on, its popularity propelled it self.

Having a PC at home was even better than having a Mobile_telephone in your Car.

Of course the Pocket_PC was still several years away. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pocket_PC

Several years after people embraced the PC, it was time for the iPhone_(1st_generation).

William_Gibson took the 1980s Sci-Fi tech landscape up to a new level and U2 took music and concerts up to a new level in the 1990s. The last couple decades of the 20th_century took a big leap in technology and Cyberpunk entertainment.

Bill Gates celebrated his 54th birthday in Vancouver at a U2 concert.

People eating insects rather than meat isn't a popular choice

 https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/jun/25/eating-insects-meat-planet

If a person is hungry and desperate enough, they might eat bugs. Then again, if one is hungry enough, they might even eat EXCREMENT. However, this pushing crappy food upon the masses won't stop the billionaires from still having their champagne and caviar lifestyle.
