2 thoughts on “Bill Gates pledges remaining fortune to Gates Foundation, which will close in 20 years

  1. I don’t pretend to understand the intricacies of how the Gates foundation operates, but I find it incredible that anyone would complain about the foundation having too much influence. Seems to me they’ve done and continue to do great things for the betterment of society. And to Bill Gates’ point, he can spend the money he’s earned however he chooses. (What an incredible concept.)

    1. His behavior during COVID-19–and his sycophants’ craven willing to gobble every one of his amateur armchair proclamations–is enough to make him another Lysenko. Gates is as corrupt as Fauci but without a medical degree (or any degree IIRC). He’s less of a legit scientist than Dr. Oz, and while mainstream America should view both of these men with extreme skepticism, only one is. Gates can indeed use his money however he chooses, but contriving a technocratic dystopia that enslaves most of the globe while protecting the millionaires’ paradise (Little Saint James?) doesn’t exactly make him a modern-day Astor or Carnegie or Vanderbilt or Rockefeller.
