I didn't mean to get all super libertarian. The government spends most of its money on good things that people would overlook like roads and stuff. And I wasn't trying to suck bill off. Just generate some discussion. What if you were the money haver? What would you do? splifyphus posted:giving back with one hand a hilariously tiny fraction of what he stole with the other, proles gathered around on their knees, mouths agape, eyes radiating adoration, desperate to taste some white nerd cocksweat

what's that? the gdp of a medium sized country sitting here in my pool? you want it for infrastructure, food, water, social programs, sustainable energy generation? listen, it's my money so really only I get to choose how to spend it (where 'I' is a monkey with a single track consciousness that can only think of or do one thing at a time). anyways, here's a new toilet and a 66,000 sq ft house for myself

I think it would be fun to design a castle home to live in with a draw bridge and stuff. But it would be cool to invest in cancer curing nano bots, or nuclear fusion, or some kind of global hunger relief project. Robots that went around eating all the guns they see? Idk how to please everyone.

Maybe the point at which he stopped innovating a business, and stealing other peoples ideas  and his money was just a stock growing on itself he should have stopped getting money. Could America work without a stock market? Just workers and investors? No dudes watching bank accounts grow?

I'm totally in favor of taxing anything over 2 million at 95%. I don't give a gently caress about crocodile tears.

Gates sort of supports charter schools, which are demonstrably worse than public schools, and don't solve any of the problems they're supposed to solve. At least he's not a gigantic poser like Steve Jobs, though. The world is a better place without Jobs in it.

gently caress the ROW posted:There's huuuuuge loving money in jewing africa out of small amounts. There was a big service, kiva, that goons used to love and it turns out they bilk the people who borrow money out of 3 or 4 times the original amount haha those things are hilarious cuz they have insane interest rates to represent the risk of lending to some poor dude in africa except the risk is divided between a bunch of ppl and in reality most of these ppl actually pay off the ridiculous loans so the whole thing is a payday loan scam in an international scale

THC posted:see, he's like a leftist version of the koch brothers, if only he'd stop giving his drat money to african tar babies I didn't say he was leftist I said that's what I'd prefer he did if his goal was to help people. Bill Gates seems like he could have been the left version of the Koch brothers but instead he's just the lesser evil.
