Hey, @jimr1603 @milliefink @Simon_Clift
If youâre wondering what Bill Gates pays the Grauniad all that money for, wonder no more:
Itâs not to keep publishing a well established English environmentalist journalist. Bill knows the agenda isnât set by sincere, deeply researched writing.
He should tell that to stockholders.
âThey feel utterly helpless to avoid the inevitable eventâ: Douglas Rushkoff
Then what use are they?
Staving off death for a few more months?

If only there were something they could do with their billions to ensure that they would never need to hide in a bunker away from the angry rabble.
Maybe, pay taxes? Donate at least 10% each year to causes supporting human rights, basic needs met for all, etc.?
Yeah, no, there probably isnât anything they could do with so little money and power at their disposal.
Good way to put the fact that being that wealthy is as twisted, a lot MORE twisted, than the kind of âhoardingâ that usually gets gawked at as twisted, weird, unhealthy, etc.
