what is bill gates sacrificing to do this? As far as I'm aware absolutely nothing at all.
i think in order for this to be praised, in order for it to be good or generous there needs to be any amount of sacrifice. Is he downsizing his mansion for this? Does even one thing about his life change?
this is just a way of buying good pr.
I think if you use your eyes, you might be able to find the title that explains pretty succinctly what Bill Gates plans to give up in order to save millions of lives.
I know reading is hard Communist, but it helps us understand the world!
...you do realize that, for example, if you had 100 billion dollars, you already have every asset you ever wanted, and then you lost 99 billion, and still had a billion dollars, your life wouldn't be impacted at all, right?
99 percent of his wealth being lost does what to him exactly? I literally can't think of one thing he loses with this.
i think you could benefit from reading yourself, my point was about what he loses by donating the wealth, if you think money has inherent value I feel very bad for you, honestly.
He could spend billions on megayachts, private islands, hookers, and blow, or hoard it like a dragon as other billionaires do. Instead he's making a direct material difference in millions of lives around the world.
What he's doing saves millions of people. I know a communist might think a million lives is just a statistic, but those are individual people. Bill Gates the billionaire is doing more to make the world a tangibly better place than all the conplainers in this thread.
He's sacrificing power and influence. That's what the big money people are all about, right?
Bill gates isn't actually going to do this....
Yeah
Like the idiots who think philanthropy is an acceptable compromise to a fair society.
You making yourself our enemy won't make us take your side.
I'm saying 'saving lives is good actually' and you declare me an enemy that "endorses capitalism and imperialism"
exhausting
Omg you're exhausting!!
It would be better if be hadn't fucked with our economies to start with.
Damn, Erika must be hanging around the wrong spaces. Don't get me wrong, the liberalist ones are full of idealistic drivel like that, it's true, but any Marxist space will drill into you their famous quote:

This thread is keyboard warriors complaining that a billionaire is taking action to save millions of people, from the comfort of their couches. One wise man even suggested poverty exists because countries spent all their money on Windows keys
Like I don't like billionaires existing either, but this is objectively a good thing.
Your "nothing wrong" includes frequent trips to Epstein's island. 😬
I guess I'm just a crazy online Leftist for not thinking a nice donation to NPR is enough to even out molesting kids. I guess you want to give him a tote bag?
I'm with you 100%.
