To be fair, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has spent billions on efforts like eradicating Polio, as well as improving sanitation in some parts of the world.
> L.A. Times investigation reveals the Gates Foundation’s humanitarian concerns are not reflected in how it invests its money. In the Niger Delta, where the foundation funds programs to fight polio and measles, the foundation has also invested more than $400 million in companies like Royal Dutch Shell, ExxonMobil and Chevron. These oil firms have been responsible for much of the pollution many blame for respiratory problems and other afflictions among the local population.
> The Gates Foundation also has investments in 69 of the worst polluting companies in the U.S. and Canada, including Dow Chemical. It holds stakes in drug companies whose drugs cost far beyond what most AIDS patients around the world can afford. Other companies in the foundation’s portfolio have been accused of transgressions including forcing thousands of people to lose their homes, supporting child labor, defrauding and neglecting patients in need of medical care.
People who think Gates is doing good with his wealth basically don’t understand that a lot of the problems we are facing are caused by wealth inequality in the first place. Some of you are watching 6 monkeys hoard all the bananas and then when they throw you 1 you love them for it?
