This reminds me of the financial crisis in 2008. A ton of people knew what was going on and issued warnings but not many listened. What I don’t like is the effort to make some people like Gates into heroes that saw what nobody else saw. Public health experts warned for decades that we are not prepared but nobody wanted to pay for action.

- 8bitsrule 7y agoI wonder how many of those experts got on a stage to give 'we, the people' that warning. The media will hide that stuff on page nnn because it's not popular. Whatever I may think of Gates' past actions, I applaud his educational and other-directed actions ... they're not about consolidating power or fortune. Carping and suspicion about anyone's generosity is bottom-feeding.
