Gates has more money than our federal government - if he wants to send his money away ( to anyone except enemies or terrorists) he’s free to do so.

I wish I understood why the African nations don’t evolve.

Suppose part of it is religion, part of it is corrupt government that pushes them down, part of it is weather (easier to live in a warm climate). But overall...why can’t they break out of the 3rd world? Is it pure laziness?

Should he respect “thieves” and “bank robbers” also? Billy and Melinda need to shut up and count their money.

No matter how hard Bill Gates tries to be one of the cool kids by dissing Trump like the other cool libs, he’ll always be the class nerd.

It’s primitive tribalism; prevalent across a lot of the world and the root cause of most of the strife through the ages. Some civilizations mostly got over it and too many cling to it still.

Africa is proof that modern man walked out of Africa and left the stupid behind.

“I wish I understood why the African nations don’t evolve.”

I read an article from a guy from (I think) Ghana who said the reason they are stuck is that aspects of their culture don’t allow them to succeed. His example was that nobody could own a store because your relatives would come and ask for free stuff and you’d have to give it to them. Thus all the businesses were owned by people from other countries and the profits were shipped overseas.

They put family members over anything else, even distant cousins have a claim on you so nobody has snything

And Bill Gates warned that the proposed Trump administration budget could directly lead to millions of preventable deaths around the globe

Yeah, well, so did banning DDT. And so did supporting Planned Parenthood and other killmills.

And I want the creators and perpetualists of terms like ‘virtue signaling’ to be buried in a pit of lime and covered in concrete so they don’t stink up the planet ever again. It sounds like a gaggle of one-legged, deaf-mute, sour-faced lesbian albinos gesticulating and swatting at invisible flies when they aren’t waving rainbow-colored semaphore flags at everyone.
