    Also, Warren already back out.

    So this is just a shill op for these “good” parasites.

    Read between the lines folks, these people are your enemies

      To people like this, the number in their bank account is like a scoreboard. They didn’t get that high up the leaderboard purely by accident.

      Anyone who thinks that kind of person is just going to give up their place on the scoreboard is either incredibly naïve or gullible.

      Don’t get me wrong, there are some people to there who may have some semblance of empathy, but as seen by the title, that’s about 1 in 25.

      They also don’t do good things out of the goodness of their hearts, they do it to win social points so that they don’t get gunned down in the middle of a NYC street.

        It’s not just that.

        Besides the humanitarian work that the gates foundation does do “voluntarily”, money is agency, it is power.

        There is very little argument and reason to believe that “people” and “countries” would actually be more responsible in spending it.

        If there was a big, motivated, carefully planned social movement that had a solid idea and spending plan, things would be different. And such a group could also force them to give up that money to spend it on these things. But such a movement doesn’t exist.

        As it stands, the idea that they would voluntarily give up money is dumb. To do what? Feed the corruption and nepo network in their country, that then will benefit only the people that are just like them, but less rich? That makes no sense.

        It has to come from public pressure and equal wealth taxes.

        You also don’t stay up there in the leaderboard by accident

        You wouldn’t expect these clowns to pay taxes that’s what w2 slaves are for. In fact, the treasury should be paying them. Just look at the national debt since 1980s then look at how fat these swine got.

        Crux of the everything crisis we got on our hands.

        But hey the good parasites paid 15k for a fluf piece, put on a suit and say thank you!

        Let’s not forget lobbyingbribery. And since said political influence is ostensibly being bought for the sake of charity, nobody would even blink.

        Just my theory, mind you. But every one of these charitable foundations is primarily done for tax avoidance. No question. Well that is every one of these foundations except for the one set up by Mr President Tiny Dick. He just can’t resist the temptation of embezzlement. I mean seriously, he bankrupted THREE casinos, and had a judge not just dissolve his foundation, but also bar him from running one of these so-called charitable foundations ever again.

        I don’t even want to know how you can fuck up that egregiously. One of those things where you have to wonder if successfully finding understanding of how it happened is going to hopelessly corrupt your own soul for all of eternity.

      also Gates have accused of vaccine colonialism by african countries, hes not doing out of his own heart, its most likely his way of laundering money, plus to distance himself from epstein.
