Comment on Bill Gates to give away 99% of his wealth in the next 20 years
Landless2029@lemmy.world 2 days agoThis is a good comeback. Take that wealth and start lobbying to start fixing shit
He could start up a whole ass organization with departments to fight for education, health care, income equality, homelessness and more.
He could resolve homelessness single handedly by funding homes, but what we need is to fix the machine.
I seriously think we need to focus in fixing education and news/social media regulations to increase critical thinking in the masses and stop the suppression of “woke media”
They’re making everyone dumber and brainwashing the masses. How we got our current leader.
Social media platforms are how many Americans get thier information and news. Purposefully spreading misinformation and suppressing non offensive political views should be a massive fine by the FCC.

Why would he do that? He’s so rich, he can never go broke.
All his “Foundation” bullshit is PR, after he realized everyone hated him before Bush Jr. made all his troubles go away. I wonder how much that “Donation” was?

That’s my point. A “good” billionaire would make moves not promises and donations.
Geetnerd@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Agreed.

I appreciate how civil most lemmings are. I’ve been wrong and admit fault. Or unclear and clarify.
We also have idiots on here though. I imagine that ratio may change as Lemmy gets more adoption.
