    Bill Gates is a massive piece of shit. Don’t let all the propaganda he puts out there fool you. When you start looking closer at his so-called charity work it’s not nearly as pretty as you might think.

      Yeah let’s hear it. Please elaborate on your accusations and don’t be so vague.

        He basically gave $54BN to the “Gates and Melinda Charity”.

        Guess who controls the charity?

        Guess if the “Charity” pays taxes?

        It’s crazy how fast people simp for billionaires, old evil shitty hated-by-all billionaires too, just because they spend some publicities around.

            No, it doesn’t. And I’d guess that foundation is far more efficient with it’s funds than most, given it doesn’t need to advertise or ask for money.

            People here are just desperate to find some reason to hate the guy.

            I think that you don’t understand the value of billions of dollars. He can do whatever he wants “for himself” with just $0.1BN. The rest is just a mental hoarding disease IMO.

            They love buying companies, patents and so on, just because. Maybe they miss thst rush when they “earned” their first billion or something and, like a junkie, wants to feel it again.

              So you don’t think he should give away any money or what?.

                Where on earth did you read he’s giving away money?

                For example, researchers don’t want “his money” because there are so many strings attached that whatever you discover, now it’s under Bill Gates ownership.

                  I definitely don’t have much love for the guy but my understanding is the money he put up to fight malaria has saved a bunch of lives.

                  The current situation as I understand it is that he makes more money from his investments than he gives away each year. If he was committed to giving all his money away like he said, wouldn’t he… get on that? He’s not getting any younger, why isn’t he throwing cash at any good cause?
