      A lot of the Gates foundation goes towards infectious diseases, maternity and child care (around the world).

      It’s done for tax breaks of course, but that’s the dumb system we accept.

      I would have thought taxing wealth and distributing not based off individuals decisions but rather global/national networks and experts would be the best way, but hell… The way this current administration is ciphening funds out of everything including the military to push a partisan agenda shows that could go horribly wrong as well

      I would believe that is true for many rich people, and it’s been shown for Trump, but I have seen no indication this is true of Gates.
