Bill Gates deserves a lot of shit for creating the original big tech monopoly. But I'll say this about him: At least he's not hoarding his money to build a secretive compound to hold hundreds of kids he spawned with right wing crazy women for the purpose of creating a future master race.

Yes, but, why does he have to spread the spend now over 20 years? After which he still has like a billion left. If he gave that all away, those 99% right now, he still would be a billionaire AND have maximum impact with his money. Sorry, he can't be excused either. Good intention but again there is some ulterior motive behind this "slow" spending. Like always.

How do you know this? It would cost less than 1% of his wealth, and it was an objective of his good friend Jeffrey Epstein.
