    Not to mention, foundations like that are a frequent tax dodge, and is also reputation laundering.

    Bill is basically a modern Carnegie. Sure he gives a shit load of money away, but also goes around paying people to fuck over anyone for a buck.

    It’s like playing fable, going to a vendor and buying all their gems only to sell it back at an inflated price (rinse and repeat, you’ll be rich.)

    Then going and fucking over the entire town to get rental properties.

    Then going to the temple of light and paying to change your alignment.

    You’ve still got all the properties and you’re still making money hand over fist but everyone thinks you’re some sort of hero.

      He’s doing this to distance himself from Epstein, and him being ruthless business in the 80s and 90s. Even his vaccine initiative has a ulterior motive, look up vaccine colonization and gates.
