Bill Gates charitable donations do real good but they are paltry sums compared to what taxing him would do. Its best to view billionaire donations as at best a guilty conscience and at worst insincere marketing.
This isn’t an ‘either or’ question and framing it that way is deliberate. As though his money alone couldn’t fix both issues for years.
Tax the rich and make them taste reality again. They need to be taxed, its good for them. Ease their guilty consciences of all this sinful monetary excess.
His “donations” are to his own charity, that he then gets to use to reduce his tax burden. Billionaire philanthropy is another avenue of profit for them, nothing else.
Don’t worry, climate scientists who have investigated this issue for decades now, bill Gates says it’ll be fine
My buddy has been getting tons of testing and high skill engineering equipment from facilities closed down after Bill Gates pulled funding. I guess he’s pivoting research because of Trump. My buddy has warehouse worth the growing equipment now from one of his labs plus tons of other stuff.
Too much money makes you abhorrent and eventually evil. Notice how not ONE of the nearly 1000 billionaires that reside in the USA have stepped up to offer assistance to help feed the people who will be starving next month. I would be sick with myself if I had that wealth and did nothing. These people have forgotten where they came from. Is it time, yet, to remind them?
Dude wants AI for more money. He doesn’t give a fuck.

Cool uncle mask falling off. Familiar face emerges.
His philanthropy was always a response to how much people hated him because of Microsoft. He is so thin-skinned and can’t stand even legitimate grievances against him.
I’ll take a thin skinned billionaire that donates some of those billions to feel warm and fuzzy over a thick skinned one that laughs from a balcony as people lose their homes.
But… but, he’s one of the “good billionaires”, Reddit told me so. He’S A phiLAnthroPISt!
To those friends and people that would always say that to me, I always said he just has a good PR team. His malaria work is genuinely good, but still not even a drop in the ocean of the good he could actually do if he contributed his fair share.
Bill Gates, the guy who stole MS-DOS.
Ahhh good old QDOS. What a piece of shit.
What do the other “subscription rich” think?
I believe he was anti green energy before, then made a pivot, and I guess he’s back.
*Now that I read it
In a letter published Tuesday ahead of next week’s COP30 U.N. climate summit, Gates argued that too many resources are focused on emissions and the environment, and that more money should go toward “improving lives” and curbing disease and poverty.
“Climate is super important but has to be considered in terms of overall human welfare,” Gates told CNBC’
What he said isn’t exactly wrong in and of itself. Only in the context of when and why he said it. Of course we have to keep human welfare in mind, but the climate crisis has reached a point where all human welfare in the not so distant future depends on how heavily we address environmental issues right now. And he’s only saying that to save face.
I’ll just leave this here:

I think too many resources are spent on Bill Gates
They are ALL abhorrent cunts that will, one day soon, face angry mobs that will decide their fate.
