Now entering dark meme territory

Bill gates from behind with the ~~steel chair~~ polio vaccination program.

Kicking malaria's butt too right. Sure you don't get to be a billionaire without exploitation. But I doubt I'd be smart enough to organise philanthropy as well as they seem to be. So props to them for caring?
- As long as no one idolizes him, I’d say compliments are fine. I’ll never trust a billionaire, but I still appreciate when they do right. Social media causing hero worship to all but die among the reasonable has been its only positive.
Bill Gates is still a bastard. Here's an episode of Tech Won't Save Us that features an interview with the author of "The Bill Gates Problem".

still a billionare. fight me

Interesting note 20th century millionaires tried to tackle societal ills by making various utopia like projects. Hershey tried to make I think 3 cities (USA, Brazil, maybe Cuba) were he tried to control the populace. They all failed except maybe, USA the city is a tourist trap and major hospital. I think Spain had another with a long City, and a more modern example is Dubai with ..... Basically all of Dubai. Or California currently has a project being run by several tech people.

Well I will say Hershey USA has a combination of local farms to feed the populace and generate the products for the factory, a public pond and picnic grounds that also provides water pressure for the city by being a giant lifted open water reservoir, and he funded the arts and built free entertainment for his employees that he paid them to help build.

It was pretty good for the time period and his fund continues to fund one of the best orphanage programs. It pivoting to tourism is the unfortunate result of the USA believing in pretty much only the service economy.

A lot of the other 20th century Uber rich built public stuff mostly to buy positive opinion and get regulators/employees off their back. Hershey is a fully functioning company town still 100 years later. Not a lot of those around. But it certainly has issues cause of course, nothing is perfect or lasts perfect.
- I forgot the source but there was a YouTuber that did a deep dive. It boiled down to Hershey being forced to pivot his goals. If I remember correctly he started with strict moral and civil planning and then it got progressively ness strict growing into an actual city.

Didn't brainiac do the same with krypton?

Brainiac artificially increases the value of his knowledge from planets by genociding said planets.

So yeah, exactly the same.
- Oh for some reason I thought krypton was overly dependent on him and that led to its destruction. My Memories are very hazy on that.
