    I had one of the strangest real-life encounters of my life a few years back when I went to Joseph Firmage’s house for a no-hot-water call. While I’m standing there as a plumber, his phone keeps ringing nonstop and he’s talking like he’s scheduling meetings with the President. Then he takes us into the garage and shows us what he claims is a propulsion device he’s been working on.

    We installed the water heater, but the check he gave us bounced. When I went back to collect, he kept insisting that a million dollars was “about to be wired to him any minute.” We ended up sitting there for a while talking with a woman who was living there (at the time she never told us anything about abuse, only later did I hear about legal stuff involving her). At one point, out of nowhere, she tried serenading me by singing “Alfie.” I still don’t even know how to explain that part.

    The whole thing was so surreal that I later brought one of my best friends back with me in uniform just so he could see the house and know I wasn’t exaggerating. We ended up having to repo the water heater, and the absolute best part was when my buddy and I were sitting in the truck waiting because Joseph was still insisting that million dollars was about to arrive. Then we see two guys in suits walk up to the front door and for a split second we both LOST it, thinking, “Oh my gosh… it’s real.”

    Turns out it was just two Mormon missionaries.

    Hands down one of the weirdest experiences of my life. It felt like being dropped into a movie I didn’t audition for

    Schizophrenia. I have it too but it’s treated. I can understand why he’s acting like that bc of how bizarrely my mind was when it was untreated. I missed a plane flight because I thought i could teleport instead by jumping naked off a small cliff lol

    This not the first guy who thinks gyroscopes are the way we come to anti gravity travel. Each person that did had the same results. Including degrading relationships because of it.

    Look up:

    Gyroscopic Antigravity

    The man who wants to change the world. Of Sandy Kidd

    Quite frankly, it's turns out to be a sad hobby these guys get consumed by that mostly come with a high cost. On all levels.

    He was involved in other ventures, such as ManyOne Networks, in Santa Cruz, CA (failed). There are rumors of his rampant drug use (cocaine) which would explain his increasingly delusional behavior. His unfortunate downfall appears to be his own fault; the elder abuse is unforgivable, the fraud is appalling. I don't believe he will ever get out of jail.

    Pretty usual tech billionaire, nothing weird about him. The only weird thing is how we call out one of them for their obvious scams and totally ignore and even praise other ones.
