  Only if he can get the credit.

  And money. These people only really care about the money.

  Seems like every billionaire has all these lofty goals and huge dreams to make the world better… but only if they get statues erected of them personally.

  So yes, we are not a mature enough species to handle power and wealth, we can’t even take care of our planet and all we had to do there was not pump poison into the air and we couldn’t even pull that off. Lets cap wealth at a hundred million bucks, tops, and then forcibly take away their money and build houses and gardens and water purifiers all over the developing world. There are probably fucking genius savant children being born who could solve all our problems, out of 8 billion people the odds only increase, but if the majority of these potential world-changing children die from dysentery and other diseases in vast numbers every day, then we’re losing talent constantly.

  If anyone was running the world like a business, they would need to get called in for a performance review, asap.

  How can he get the credit if he can’t patent it? How is he trying to get credit? Also, of all the billionaires to hate on, Bill Gates is a very odd choice considering he wants what so many here advocate for.

    Please note that I semi like bill gates as I agree with you, he is one of the better ones.

    But having said that, there is no such thing as a good billionaire. My comment was more about how all their actions are for self benefit.

    I believe he has stake in Pfizer hence his stance in this post.
