    ppl need to stop listening to this crazy ing nerd

    During the pandemic, Bill Gates’s personal fortune has increased by an impressive $20 billion, but even these gains pale in comparison to his soaring political influence—as the news media has widely trumpeted his leadership on Covid-19, praising his charitable donations or extolling him as a “visionary” who predicted the outbreak.

    It’s a highly questionable narrative, one that ignores widespread controversy over the way Gates made his fortune and how he chooses to spend it, but which nonetheless has delivered a windfall of political capital for our philanthropist in chief—which he is now spending down.

    These billionaires, the best they could do, some would say, would be to be stop their foundations and pay their fair share of taxes,” says Rogers-Wright, noting how new tax revenues could help fund democratically devised solutions. “If Gates really wants to be effective and in a way that lifts up equity…[he should be] really listening to people who are being impacted the most and scaling up their solutions, rather than coming in with a parachute and with an air of white savior-ism that actually in some cases causes more harm than good.”

    Christine Nobiss, founder of the Indigenous-led Great Plains Action Society, points to recent reports that Bill Gates has become the largest farmland owner in the United States, holding 242,000 acres—a larger area of land than Bahrain or Singapore or Barbados can claim. Nobiss says this speaks to the Manifest Destiny mentality that has to be challenged in the political fight around climate change.

    What exactly is the response you're looking for here that will give you some feeling of accomplishment or validation?

    I'll give it to you if it'll make you less insufferable. It's clear that there's a gaping void in your life right now that you're trying to fill. Help me help you.

    One can take as well a boat by his house in the Seattle area on an island that is literally the size of a shopping mall (and as ugly). His wife and him have certainly done some good public health work but he needs to step back more in my opinion and let those with public health expertise and true experience do more of the talking when it comes to matters outside his training.

    All Gates is saying is that, as is very widely known, industrial meat production consumes/wastes land, water, anti-biotics, chemical fertilizer and produces tons of pollution. The inputs to get one pound of industrial meat

    Industrial meat production makes as much sense as growing corn to burn it as fuel.

    ing insanity.

    I truly believe the poor bas is missing a few screws. And who can blame him, hes got a gazillion dollars, probably doesnt really talk to anyone "normal" people.

    He wants to change everyones life dramatically except himself and his familys
