With some ways of looking at things, the world as a whole is getting better, rather than worse.

Who should listen to oligarchs like Bill Gates? Philanthropy Is a Scam
He's also the first one to be somewhere to lobby where a government decides to move away from windows, because it's gonna hurt his stock value
He was also a major factor in denying the global south the IP-free vaccine production they had been promised.
I really hope we make sure to record in the history books that we absolutely had the capacity to save a heartbreaking number of human lives if we waived the vaccine IP and let India crank up production but instead we listened to murderers like Bill Gates who argued we had to protect intellectual property….
Pathetic is the only word for it.
