Bullshit, he's "transferring" his wealth to his own charity for tax reasons...
It's a trick to protect his money for his children.
Why wait, just do it already.
Individuals hoarding wealth is bad for society.
Because he wants to benefit personally from his wealth and be seen as a good person.
And the idiots will keep eating it up
Get fucked with a rusty rake bill, you helped stop the COVID vaccines from being patent exempt, among plenty of other awful shit, all for more money.
He has been making this kind of promise since the early 2000s, but never follows through. Just the goal post keeps moving to the right.
While the goal post keeps moving, it's the opposite of your statement. As explained in the article:
That target would represent a doubling in spending for the nonprofit, which has disbursed more than $US100 billion since it was co-founded by Bill Gates and Melinda French Gates in 2000. Originally, the foundation was set to close 20 years after the Microsoft co-founder’s death.
“I have decided to give my money back to society much faster than I had originally planned,” Gates, 69, wrote in a statement. “I will give away virtually all my wealth through the Gates Foundation over the next 20 years to the cause of saving and improving lives around the world.”
Supposedly he's already given away half, why is it unthinkable that he's planning to give away the other half?
Because good people don't hoard wealth to begin with.
He does this so people don't hate him for helping to destabilize the global economy.
Where do I sign up
Bank Robber vows to give away his stolen funds by 20 years from now to charities of his choosing. He's one of the good ones! So uplifting!
Give it away now instead you piece of shit. If he actually gave a shit he would have donated it all to charities already. It's just a billionaire farse, fuck him and the rest of em.
he actually gave a shit he would have donated it all to charities already. It's just a billionaire farse,
Just not his own goddamned ~~tax avoidance scheme~~ charity
Yes, to actual charities.
Which are also tax avoidance schemes
Depends if you are talking about big charities or actual charities
Don't advertise scum. This guys is trying to literally spend 99% of his fortune to wipe off all the shit he has done.
Why not hate on the billionaires who aren't giving away billions of dollars?
Because he isn't doing anything either. He promised to get rid of it in 20 years.
First, he's a psychopath, I don't trust a word he says. Additionally, in 20 years he'll be almost 90. Aka huge chance he'll be actually dead of old age.
And last, you don't get to fuck the world for decades and then suddenly become a good person because you promise to stop being a shitstain in another 2 decades.
He's been consistently donating his wealth for years.
He's not saying he will do nothing foe 10 years
Then why does he have so much wealth? Donate more. Do more. Some isn't enough.
