What strikes me about the Gates Foundation is that for a guy who made his fortune selling software into the free market, all the programs I hear about are hardware related (toilets, polio shots, birth control devices) rather than software related (free capital markets, private property ownership, clear title registration and enforcement, adjudication systems , non-corrupt political systems, good government programs, western based religious institutions, etc). Eradication of poverty is built on social software, not hardware.

The reason most municipalities are uninterested in creating public toilets is that they generally become havens for the homeless, homosexuality, prostitution and intravenous drug use.

It used to be “shoot, shovel, and shut up.”
