| He has pledged $200 billion. Isn't it insane that an American billionaire would do this while we have so many issues here? Hasn't he learned from the mistakes of countless others who donated to Africa only to have the money disappear into a black hole by corrupt politicians and warlords? |

What is wrong with you Op? Bill Gates is trying to save lives and use his funds to prevent people from starving and dying from treatable illnesses. Compared to Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos who donate very little, he’s a saint and I will sleep better tonight knowing that fewer children will die of hunger due to his donation.
You sound like a ghoul. |

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is the most successful private charitable enterprise in the history of aid to African nations.
If ever you could trust anyone to effect change with their wealth, it would be Bill Gates. Please have some respect. I dislike and prefer not to use Microsoft products, but the man, his wife and their money have saved millions of lives and will save millions more. Thank God for Bill Gates. |
Sorry not everyone's a bleeding heart like you |
| Respect |
Where do you want the money to go? YOU?

Perhaps he has learned from the U.S. mistakes— so much money here, still “so many issues.”Good for him. |
| Well done, I say. |
Maybe it should go to building up this country. You know... the country that allowed him to make those 200 billion dollars. He's helping to siphon all the wealth he's made here to go to the third world to be squandered. The problem with these billionaires is they're all internationalists who have zero loyalties to the culture and nation that allowed them to be successful. |
| Not to worry. The NGO graft will pick it up. And they're mostly operated by Westerners. Precious little will make it to Africans in need. |
+1 Also there is an enormous amount of money in this country. That's really not the issue. I wouldn't feel motivated to donate to a dime to a country that keeps voting for Trump personally. |
Ooh... you're a MAGA xenophobe. Got it. No, PP. African nations need the help a lot more than people here, even poor Americans. We don't have active and uncontrolled malaria here, or AIDS-infected people on every corner. |
| Why do you hate capitalism OP? He earned the money and now he can spend it where he chooses. That's America. If you don't like it you can go back to wherever you came from. |

I'm an internationalist. I hope we're all internationalists if that's your definition, weirdo.
Microsoft is a global company and made billions because everyone all around the world bought its products. Also, it's not clients he's rewarding. It's people who have nothing. Even the poorest of the poor here in the America have something. You're very, very flawed if your humanity is limited to these artificial borders. |
| Your racism is showing. |
