      Because he wants to benefit personally from his wealth and be seen as a good person.

      And the idiots will keep eating it up

        I mean, 99% of his wealth gone still leaves him with over a billion dollars. Might be more of a logistics and planning issue.

      Do you have a comprehensive plan on how to immediately spend 200Bn USD evenly and fairly only to the most impoverished people on earth in such a way that maximises longterm benefit more than spreading it out over 20 years?

      Also, if you sell off 200Bn USD worth of stocks in a day then you’re not going to make 200Bn USD off the sales.

        you seem to be all over the thread defending gates. Do you really think this is how a good willed person helps people? by preventing vaccine patents, and using impoverished kids for testing.

        He’s creating pathway to funnel his money where he wants it, his own family, with least criticism, and defended by short sighted stringent followers like you.

          You think preventing vaccine patents was the bad outcome? I don’t even know how to begin with that, I don’t feel any need to defend if that’s your stance.
