Maybe pay some fucking taxes first, Bill.
I'm fairly certain he pays every last cent he government asks of him.
The problem is that the government has been unwilling to ask for more, and the current one certainly won't.
He has been advocating for higher taxes for while though, like backing the Washington Income Tax initiative with his father:
Yeah, that's called PR. The billionaires love living in a world where they can say they support something and take credit for that position in full knowledge that they'll never actually be held accountable for it.
Yo this motherfucker fights diseases that kills millions and absolutely is nowhere near Musk or his shit filled ilk
Stop consuming right wing propaganda. This dude tries more than most let humans be human fuck sake not like he set this system up
But doesn't support FOSS tech
I'm not going to praise someone for throwing in an amount that, to you and me, is equivalent to a few dollars. Proportionate to our income, I've donated more to fighting malaria than Gates. This is basically purchasing PR.
I'm on the FOSS instance, we've been hating Gates since 1976.
He's one of the very few people with the individual power to change it.
This dude has that button box that says "press me for a million dollars but someone somewhere will be hurt" and he spends his days pressing that button over, and over, and over, and over again.
If he wants my affection, he needs to do this now. I will 100% change my tune if he wakes up tomorrow and donates 99% of his wealth here, in the US.
Also, I think the world would be a better place if people didn't simp for billionaires. His business practices are robbing all of us of value we should be getting for our taxes.
His business practices are the result of a very toxic business landscape that operates on corrupt business practices.
He still spent a good chunk of his wealth battling something
He also invented that toxic landscape, ever heard of E.E.E
Why would he do that when he could donate money to helping the worlds poorest people have access to clean water and education...?
And that is exactly what he and his class makes sure of via their politics and clandestine political ~~bribery~~ lobbying efforts.
