I agree with everything but the bill gates bit. Dude has done more for this world than most people could in 20 lifetimes.

  1. Just because he has a lot of money doesn't mean he's evil.
  2. Have you ever actually listened to him speak? He's one of the only rich people who actually cares about poverty in the world. He convinced other billionaires including Warren Buffet and Mark Zuckerberg (just to name a few) to donate their wealth after they die for a good cause. And no I don't like Zuckerberg.
  3. He tried to warn us of a pandemic almost 5 years ago. Luckily this one isn't serious, but the single greatest threat to humanity is a pandemic. Something that has a recovery rate of <1% and an incubation period of a month with no symptoms is all it would take to send us back to the stone age and possibly wipe us out entirely. Our hyper mobile world is not equipped to handle a pandemic well. Just like if we got hit by an emp bomb we would starve because we are so dependant on electricity.

People talk about population control, but if ou actually listen to gates he's said himself that while over population is bad (it is unless you want perpetual war over resources) it doesn't matter because the population is going to organically soft cap at around 9 billion. Alex Jones needs to lay off. He doesn't deserve the hate he gets.

Oh and rich people want more people on the planet if they want to make more money. More labor and more consumers = more money for the wealthy.

It's ok to be a healthy skeptic, but do your research before you believe everything you hear about gates.
