There’s an old Indian story about a rich man who gives every beggar he sees a coin, until he has no more coins and is a beggar himself.
How much good did that man do by frittering away his wealth? You’re surely familiar with the adage, “It takes money to make money.”
Would you have a man like Gates blast out all his wealth, and then be unable to produce more to continue his philanthropy? Would you have him shut down his disease eradication and vaccination programs so as to not be an evil billionaire? Would that somehow clear his conscience? Or would it merely make you feel better?
Some of you have the financial sophistication of sophomores. And by “some”, I mean you !missingno@fedia.io.
