[–] jve@lemmy.world 38 points 5 months ago (4 children) Bill really nearly whitewashed away all the horrible business practices and cutthroat shit he did in the 80s and 90s with the Gates Foundation. But man, he looks like he aged a shitload in the short while since all the Epstein stuff really came to light. permalink fedilink source hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] hector@lemmy.today 25 points 5 months ago (1 child) He is still doing shitty stuff. He bailed out Monsanto with a big investment, and is a big proponent of their herbicides and proprietary round up ready seeds, and owns, what is it 5 or approaching 10% of farmland in the US to use it on. He's big into geo engineering, trying to get governments to agree to let them spray masses of sulphur dioxide in the upper atmosphere to blot out the sun, totally not a Mr. Burns move. As if he knows the unintended consequences that could result, or as if other countries that would be affected agreed to it, to say nothing of the wildlife, (ie test projects have already shown in the westerh hemisphere it will make africa drier.) What else, he intervened in covid vaccines to prevent a not for profit open source vaccine. The very idea horrified him somehow. He seems like he's trying to do good sometimes and does evil. He has a case of billionairism where everyone around him agrees with everything he says and he thinks the laser light of knowledge shines out of his ass. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] SalmiakDragon@feddit.nu 9 points 5 months ago he thinks the laser light of knowledge shines out of his ass Pure poetry, love this. permalink fedilink source parent [–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 19 points 5 months ago Yeah, never trust billionaires who are all talk about being charitable and yet their net worth hadn't even gone down significantly. They're still billionaires. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 11 points 5 months ago* I dint believe him one second, most because he was obviously using it to do money laundering, he went on AMA subreddit quite a few times too pre-2020, plus his vaccine push in africa was met with criticism too.i always felt he was quite a slimy person. and it was well known rich people like to do 'philantrophy" in AFRICA to cleanse themselves of guilt, or hate done to POCs. permalink fedilink source parent [–] ftmpch@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago* But man, he looks like he aged a shitload in the short while since all the Epstein stuff really came to light.
