No common sense is showing. We all know how this story ends. It's a terrible idea. |
So the big Sky Daddy can fix this? Do not quote racist trolls. Click the Report button. |

You sound like a naive idiot. |
| NP. No one talks about their fertility rate. Someone brought up hunger in Sudan. I am sorry but why have like 5 or 6 children per woman if there is so much hunger? Can someone please explain? I do not think Bill Gates $ 200 billion will fix the problem. |
I bet the Trump Foundation could do more good than the Gates Foundation. |

https://www.gatesfoundation.org/ideas/media-center/press-releases/2025/06/africa-health-development I don't agree with everything the Gates Foundation has ever done, and they are known to be kind of a nightmare employer in the NGO space, but they have been more impactful on the African Continent than almost any other political or nonpolitical actor. Moreover, this donation is coming at a time when the USA has just....abdicated its role in global health and hunger relief, leaving millions to die. |

Yep. Remember when Gates met our favorite "leader" to convince him and advocate to him that gobal public funding should not be cut. |
| Kudos to Bill Gates. |
He's up to something. Some sort of scam. And Africa is a continent, not a country or people. How odd to decide to donate to a landmass. |
+1 Our government just spitefully and unilaterally cut aid, causing scores of children to unnecessarily die. Literally medicine is sitting in a warehouse rotting because of the felon and Milier's cruelty. |
