Think about it: there are a ton of nice people doing nice things around. Even tech people. But you hear only about Bill.
The Gate Foundation existed for a long time. It actually paid my bills 7 years ago (wasting half of the money before reaching me, BTW), and we didn't have this incredible "yeah, best man ever" crazy minset going around.
It smells a lot like well done PR, with a lot of money behind to give a better image of the man, targetting social networks by subtils channels.
And if you need PR and pays to much for it, you probably DON'T deserve the praises.

Talk about a sense of entitlement.
- sametmax 11y agoYes, I made a bad decision. I don't pretend to be a wonderful person. However, I can see people are trying very hard to make sure people think Gate is. And he is not.
