quote:

Bill Gates, the co-founder of Microsoft turned philanthropist, announced on Wednesday that he will remove himself from the list of the world’s wealthiest people by donating “virtually all of his wealth” to the Gates Foundation.




In layman’s terms, he is donating $20 billion to himself.

In 2010, Bill Gates promised to donate all of his wealth, but since then, his fortune has more than doubled, according to BBC.

I love this part:

“I have an obligation to return my resources to society in ways that have the greatest impact for reducing suffering and improving lives.

Suicide would be a better way to go about this.

He has been saying that for years. Do it already or shut up about it. He wants people to blow him over how generous he is without actually doing the generous part.

I wish he would donate money into figuring out why Microsoft Word is such a POS.

He is trying to shelter wealth that he sank into betting on shorts of Tesla and $GME along with other bad gambling bets.

He is going to be broke and owe money before this is all done.

He’s going to use that money to buy up all the farm land across the US to make his fake meat BS and then push how healthy it is as an alternative to beef.

People are idiots if they believe any of his shite.

How much farmland can 20 billion dollars of foundation money buy?

His foundation can live in perpetuity as long as they give away 5% of their assets annually.

Other than the number of zeros on his account balances, there would be little difference in his standard of living being worth only $500 million instead of $150 billion.

I havent forgiven that a-hole for vista or windows 8.

Maybe instead of buying farmland in America he could build water treatment plants and install water and sewer lines in needy third world countries.

That would be a true benefit. But that would not help reduce the worlds population like he has stated numerous times.

I hope he gets dick cancer and his junk falls off.

Thanks JJ, many people think "giving" to a foundation is actually donating to charity.

One of the first things congressmen do is set up a foundation. Its a nice tax shield and one step removed when it comes to donations. Its against federal law to take money from foreign countries.....but not for your foundation.

Check out the "foundation" ole McCain had set up (the same one that paid for employees to shuttle the fake dossier around). Middle east loved donating money to him. So he chairs the arms services, also known as chairman of MIC, he approves a gazillion dollars. They send a weapons shipment to the Saudis with 10% for ole McCain, and the Saudis take that money and make a "donation" to his foundation....clean as a whistle.

He is a raging sociopath with a god complex that is hell bent on see his father vision for a global eugenics plan come to fruition.
