Current Events > Do you think that bill gates is using his philanthropic money in the right...

(+) Yeah! (+)

.....places? Iirc gates is the largest single private donor in philanthropic history. I think that a large chunk of that has gone to provide vaccinations in africa and stuff like that. Though i have heard criticism that gates should give more to causes in the u.s. though. What do you think?

dolling out vaccines and mosquito nets is a lot less complicated than providing affordable housing and job security

It's his money, let him do what he wants with it

I mean there are always going to be deserving causes, and even Bill f***ing Gates can only help so many. I don't think there's anything wrong with where he's put his money if it's bettered peoples' lives.

it's his money, he can put it towards whatever the hell he wants to

With the help of his foundation he eradicated polio from Nigeria and agreed to pay off the countries $76 million debt because of their efforts. I mean that's pretty damn cool.

Gates is saving peoples lives. Thats a good thing, especially when you consider that he could have easily just done nothing else besides go sip drinks on a beach somewhere.
