    • Probably not at this time…however just because someone currently has no better solution that does not make this guys plan practical. We should take more time and invest our resources to find a better solution.

      Michael that’s not an argument, you are just being negative just for the sake of being negative.

  1. This is wonderful! Think of how beautiful the world would be if no one had to worry about survival! Art IS Life and this guy is a Genius! Thank you!

  2. I remember the past, when obesity and narcissism wasn’t the norm. When people could afford rent on a third of their monthly income from a full time job that paid minimum wage.
