People are arguing that he is using his own money to actively damage society. I'm not sure if I agree with that, but to say you can't criticize someone for what they do with their money is ridiculous - as an extreme, he could use his money to poison people, or to lobby for life sentences for marijuana use.
- FourthProtocol 14y agoI said Bill Gates, and not someone. And while I don't know how people think he's damaging society, if the article being discussed here is representative then I remain unconvinced. This is not an invitation to enlighten me. I'm not wasting my time reading yet another opinion, assumption or half-baked arm-chair allegation. The investment dollars and opinion of the likes of Warren Buffett are a much more compelling endorsement to me than (I mean this respectfully) members of HN.
