Quince alPillan writes "The Oatmeal's Matthew Inman is once again collecting money for a good cause. This time, he's collecting money for the Tesla Science Center at Wardenclyffe to purchase the original location of the Wardenclyffe Tower in Shoreham, New York so that it can be rebuilt into a Tesla Museum. The fundraiser, titled Let's Build a Goddamn Tesla Museum has already started."

    Tesla was not only fucked by Westinghouse, but many others. The PR campaign by Edison is the worst, but JP Morgan pulling his project money since JP could not restrict access to make lots more money, and of course Westinghouse robbing him of personal wealth.

    Greed has screwed us all, and continues to do so today.

    Hijacking this comment because it's dumb and what I have to say is more important.

    I won't give any money to the Oatmeal since last time they let an asshole lawyer block the fundraiser.

    The lawyer tried to block the fundraiser, but it still proceeded as planned
