Bill Gates is 69. By 2045 he's going to be 89. What's he going to do with all that money at 89 anyways, after he kept it all his life.

I'll give him credit for it when it fucking happens
Gates is an unusual man who deserves a lot of praise. Most billionaires only want to build monuments to themselves. Gates has picked off a lot of projects that have virtually no chance of being funded by anyone or anything else. That's epic and legendary.

In 20 years, while still sitting on a mountain of money... All rich people are evil. The sooner people realize this, the better.
I would guess that you live in a first world country, and therefore would be considered rich by those who do not. Therefore, by your own definition, you are evil. Are you sure that's what you meant to say ?

Though it’s better than hoarding, a billionaire can’t even give away their money without wielding a dangerous amount of influence on all of our lives.
too bad he vouched for vaccines to be only distrubted by the USA, which makes the cost high for poorer countries. people like him have an ulterior motives of what he is doing.
Bill Gates deserves a lot of shit for creating the original big tech monopoly. But I'll say this about him: At least he's not hoarding his money to build a secretive compound to hold hundreds of kids he spawned with right wing crazy women for the purpose of creating a future master race.

I'll take some
Yeah, don't fucking care. He already enjoyed it, and he's told us for years he doesn't give a shit about his kids inheriting all his wealth.
Want to make a difference Bill? Don't wait 20 years. Give it all away right now, to Washington State and its charities. (Don't worry that money would immediately go to into the greater economy.)
Why Washington State?
I'll take whatever win I can get at this point. I just hope that it's actually going to good causes that will actually help people and not just bullshit money laundering "charity" shell games.
People don't usually write public annual newsletters about their money laundering schemes.
