A lovely little Horatio Alger story.  Everybody gets to be a millionaire!  Oh, but the planet.  Ooops! 

I am doubting you listened to any of it.

I read the transcript.  I'm familiar with this kind of ploy to make super wealthy people look like benevolent souls.  I don't buy it.  Not for a minute.  Except maybe Warren Buffet.  He might (might) be a rare exception.  But Koch?  No way.  Don't be fooled. 

Well then, for anyone else that is not sucked into conspiracy theories on how two guys from Wichita are grinding the gears for themselves alone, you can go ahead and listen to this and then venture deeper beyond the boogey man stories that create a convenient fiction that is easily dismissed.

Truths and nuance are harder to swallow than area 51 theories.

I don't know where you come up with this nonsense about me swallowing area 51 theories or boogie man stories.  Your post actually got me to laughing at it's absurdity.  Stick around awhile and you'll see that isn't me.

It's juxtaposition, for effect.

Sorry, that doesn't make sense.  Sounds closer to trolling.  But, whatever.
