Have you even looked over the contributions listed on gatesfoundation.com? That's an awfully broad statement to try and claim they are all just a waste of money.
That's what suckers have been paying for for years
Well I don't just give my money away, and I remember buying software that has served me well for years. If Gates wants to give it away to charity, good for him, I can think of lots worse places it could go.
Name some of the projects you like that the Gates foundation is funding. To me the man was a nasty dogged business competitor. A buccaneer who took (and takes) no prisoners.
But when it comes to charity he blows his billions on the usual useless shit. Nothing innovative
