That leaves about $3.4 BILLION left for me to spend; The Quest continues.First they came for the facts, and I said nothing …
One way to kill the facts is to defund the statistical agencies that collect them.
...What’s really going on here is not just a disregard for facts, but an effort to undermine them at their data-collection source. If nobody has accurate numbers, then nobody can disprove the demagogues’ stories.
...So we mustn’t let the know-nothings have their way. When they come for the facts, we must do everything we can to block them.

With that success rate, I would match the amount of money raised by that project. Still leaves me about 3.3 Billion to spend!...The campaign that encouraged millions of people to dump buckets of ice-cold water over their heads raised enough money to help make an important research breakthrough, the ALS Association announced Monday.
...In just eight weeks, $115 million was donated to the ALS Association, 67% of which was dedicated to advancing research for treatments and a cure, the non-profit reports.
...This is the third ALS-related gene researchers have discovered using money from the Ice Bucket Challenge, the organization says. The discovery is unique in that the project that found the gene is led by someone who has ALS.
