Witches VS Patriarchy

I strongly recommend anyone that thinks Gates has redeeming qualities listen to the Behind the Bastards on the man.

Spoiler: there are no redeeming qualities about any billionaires.

He isn't giving away his wealth my poor summer child.

He said that in the nineties and he did "give away" 45 billions, but to his own "charity" which he controls, to avoid paying taxes.

Let that sink in, you have a hundred billions and you wake up early to figure out how to pay less taxes...

The inherent problem with this is that charity should be something guided by community consensus and expert opinion, not at the whim of an oligarch (who is primarily funneling money into his own foundation). Imagine if that money went into fair worker pay and then was taxed appropriately, where it could then be used for outreach programs, grants, funding ngos, etc dictated by political means rather than having some pseudo king having to decide your cause is worthy. granted in our current climate the political means are rotten but if we had an equitable system that didn’t allow for bill gates to exist we would hopefully have a better framework for this part too.

Also will take the time to point out that for all of his “charity” his net worth has, for the most part, stayed the same or increased throughout the years. Something tells me his kids will have still have obscene generational wealth
