Bill Gates isn't poor and doesn't have to worry about where his next meal for his kids come from. People will move on, the dead can rest, the poor can not.

Bill gates benefits more from the economy starting that not. As you say he is not poor and hence he doesn’t need to take any stance. He can be quiet and feed his kids. He is saying what he is saying to bring some sense to this society as a person who has seen the devastating effects of not taking measures to containing an epidemic. We have leaders that absolutely should be removed from office as if we don’t do that This can disintegrate into anarchy. Also, What’s your plan ? open the economy, earn money to feed your child who might get sick or worse you may get sick and die and then they are whose responsibility? And as for the old people let them die? Who needs them?? I would suggest you Channel your frustration to making your govt act on helping the poor people and stop worrying about the incumbents relection.

  You’re presenting it as if it’s a binary choice. It’s not strictly binary, and creating a “one or the other“ straw man to pretend it is binary so that you can grandstand is counterproductive. Further, there’s absolutely nothing in his comment that remotely hints about worrying about the incumbents reelection. There is, however, in your comment a statement that the current leaders should be removed from office. Straw man argument, and projection...

    It dosnt take much to understand thst the only thing this unfit for office leader has going for him was the inflated economy. He understands better than anybody thst he can get away with anything so long as the economy is pumped and roaring. No matter how corrosive he his to the system and democracy he can get his way due to the economy. Corona messed thst up. And if he can’t get the economy back up he has zero chance. And that’s what all the actions around economy are. Doctors and nurses needs masks and hospitals need ventilators first. I am not saying economy is not important. But in this instance there are other first higher priorities and economy is second (and not 3rd or bottom of the stack). However when economy is the first priority despite advice from experts in the field it’s quite easy to see the intentions.
