TaxEat the rich!Here’s the thing. Even if he lives up to this promise, it’s still him deciding where that money should go, and it won’t be towards long term support of social safety nets for the commoners. He should just have been paying his fair share of taxes all along and into the future.
This is him avoiding estate taxes, change my mind.
Based on current spending, it will most likely be spent getting drinkable water to the majority of the world’s population.
I don’t like how he got his money, but he’s been reasonably responsible with it since his divorce.
That said, he has over $113b dollars. If he gives away 99% of it, he’ll still have over a billion dollars.
There are books on him exposing how half of his charities are frauds. Given his past records humanity should be wary of putting this man anywhere near anything drinkable or useful
Good guy bill, saw him also giving shit to Musk as well recently
Bill Gates accused Elon Musk of killing poor children as he announced Thursday that he would donate his remaining fortune to his charity
What a turn around from the 90’s
Don’t get fooled, nothing changed he just step up his pr game
what’s to be fooled with? i appreciate that he donates and advocates to help people with his money
there are plenty of other billionaires you’ll never hear of and they’ll never have to hear you complain because they don’t step into the limelight at all and just horde their money instead
He donates as a form of investment to avoid paying taxes and to clean his image.
i don’t really give a shit why he’s donating and i don’t know why you attach yourself to conspiracy theories like a trump supporter, he’s donating, he’s helping, that’s all i need to know:
Before the Gates efforts on malaria, malaria drugmakers had largely given up on producing drugs to fight the disease, and the foundation is the world’s largest donor to research on diseases of the poor.[139]
With the help of Gates-funded vaccination drives, deaths from measles in Africa have dropped by 90 percent since 2000.[140]
The foundation has donated billions of dollars to help sufferers of AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria, protecting millions of children from death at the hands of preventable diseases.[140]

They have an entire criticism section that doesn’t even list everything people in this thread are saying.
Are you aware where you are and how lemmy works?
Don’t advertise scum. This guys is trying to literally spend 99% of his fortune to wipe off all the shit he has done.
Such heinous crimes such as:
Saving hundreds of millions of people from Malaria…
Read what other have said in the thread, the guy corrupts everything he touches. Vaccines are a big business and the guy is all about making money.
