Subsidize is not a government only term. Paying someone for nothing is subsidizing them. If government picked up the tab, it would be different...but in the case of the Gates Foundation that is not happening.
- mattkrause 8y agoYou could think of this as deferred compensation, in that policies like this make the Gates Foundation a more attractive employer, at no additional present* cost to them. [*] Or possibly future, if the employee does not have any more children.
