>"Actually the biggest failure of the Bill Gates Foundation is being spun as a "leadership".
What nonsense.
Donating $250 million 7 months into this crisis to an organization (WHO) that willfully let this virus take hold through lying and misinformation is not leadership. Praising the country that lied, killed its own Doctors who spoke out (true leaders?) and forced WHO to act immorally is not leadership.
If his $40 billion Foundation was leading, it would have announced this to the world and started working on it in October/November of last year.
Or is all the above irrelevant, and the only thing leadership means to you is a person that speaks out against Trump?
Bill may be a friend of yours or a your local hero, but when it comes to COVID-19 - he and his foundation were complete failures and donated money to the exact organization that let this become a pandemic."
Many people are extremely disconcerted about bill gates' (and his family's) history and his inability to stop smiling at the most innapropriate times during most covid-19 interviews.
World Economies crashing, smile...
Need to Vaccinate 7 billion people, smile...
Potentially Millions of deaths, big cheesy smile...
If I smiled every time you mentioned you have a terminal illness that I have a cure for and stand to financially benefit from, Yes, you should be suspicious about what I'm up to.
Give him a bit of a break. It's difficult to pretend to care about other humans after decades of not doing so. Empathy doesn't start at the drop of a hat, and meanwhile, awkwardly misplaced smiling is at least a step in the right direction....
Back in the 90's, early 2000's, I did not think highly of Microsoft or Bill Gates. I didn't like their business practices or what they were wanting to do to free software (and Linux in particular). Gates would always make sure to mention how much MS were "innovating" with Windows and Office and it grated with me.
It's a very different MS now and one I welcome, even though I prefer free software and Linux still. Gates has also put his money and organisational skills to good use and I'm impressed by what he's doing to help fight this pandemic. Reasonable voices backed up with money is a positive just now.
