Interested in hearing your take on Bill Gates' qualifications in various segments...

  Bill Gates spends his ill-gotten monopoly profits on funding research and wide scale critical public health and education programs across the world and including America. That's on an order of magnitude difference than the world's richest meme-sharer purchasing the software company that provides the meme-sharing infrastructure.

  Mixed reviews. The Gates Foundation pushed an initiative to grade teachers based on student test scores, essentially. That only made problems in the education sector worse. Ask any teacher and they'll tell you what the problems are, and untalented teachers is pretty far down the list.

    That wasn't their intention, the Gates Foundation has done massive amounts of good work, just because there are unintended consequences doesn't change the intent

      They swooped into a field they were not experts in and caused problems. Intentions are beside the point. They thought they were the smartest ones in the room but they didn't understand the underlying issues.
