>But what is with epidemics? How many doctors do we have as much planes, tents, what scientists? If there were such a thing as a world government, we would be better prepared. It sounds like Gates is advocating this for resource distribution reasons. How about making disease treatment cheap and accessible to everyone around the world WITHOUT relying on a "world government"? As governments grow older and more powerful they become corrupt, at first it is with good intentions but slowly the positions human beings hold in those governments attract people who are corrupt. Then, those people leverage their position in that government for self-gain. This is the case all over the world with every single government ever. It is a natural human condition. A world government would multiply that opportunity for corrupt people to reign exponentially, especially as time goes on. yikes.
