    Fucking hell, isn’t his goal to rid the world of preventable diseases? Giving everyone the knowledge to make their own medicine is very clearly a good thing!

      Don’t expect any “charitable organization” run by billionaires, they’re basically all there the funnel money from a billionaire to themselves in a way that lets them lower their tax burden and try to control public policy to further enrich themselves.

      Keeping to that shithead gates, he pushed common core, admitted it was a failure, and kept pushing it. Billionaires are a pox*, and deserve to get the ol’ French aristocrat treatment.

      You sweet summer child, Bill Gates has ALWAYS been a sociopath interested in only money and power.

      His retirement and donating all his money to “charity” was only a smoke screen to preserve his wealth. He created his own charity (this is wealth preservation tactic used by ultra rich). And while it does some good, it’s main purpose is to preserve his horde and whitewash his past so he’s remembered as a good guy.

        Calling someone a sociopath is an action that ought to be kind. It ought to engender sympathy and a desire to help. I don’t want you to be kind to Bill Gates. He sucks, he doesn’t deserve your kindness. Sociopath is Greek for “socially ill person”. Bill Gates doesn’t struggle with navigating society, he controls much of society. He’s the opposite of socially ill. He inflicts social illness on other people. I want you to save the word sociopath for nice people who deserve kindness and sympathy. Bill Gates is an asshole.

      Bill Gates has stock in Pfizer which would be devalued if the company didn’t have exclusive right to produce vaccines according to its patented method. He’s a billionaire, and that means he only cares about money. That’s the only way to become a billionaire in the first place. He’s simply treating medicine the same way he treated Microsoft for decades.
