About derek leif, and why it will make you happy to Venmo a buck or more @derekleif
Derek Leif devotes his life to finding things that grab his attention, and then make him say either "then what" if it's a story, or "what else," if it's non fiction.
When he's not doing that, he creates things that he hopes do the same for others.
His frankly delusional plan is to create a website (that would be this) that encourages others to support him either by sending him a dollar (or more) via Venmo (@derekleif), or by purchasing various amusing items he sells on Ebay (watch for occasional auctions).
He actually believes he will amass 15 million dollars by doing this. At that point, he plans to live on the interest generated from this money in an annuity--which is several hundred thousand dollars, by the way--and to give away 93 percent of all money he earns beyond this. 93 percent was the top tax bracket in the nation in 1954, when a Republican, Dwight Eisenhower, was in office.
In truth, when life deems him worthy to pull in this kind of money, he will probably give away even more than that.
When he dies, the 15 million dollars he has raised from the generous contributions of the world's citizens--or from one eccentric billionaire--will go in three 5 million dollar pieces to the following organizations: The American Library Association, Salem State University, and WFMU.
And as crazy as it sounds...wouldn't it be kind of wonderful if all of this happened?
Well, you can help make it so. Venmo a buck or more @derekleif.
