Unrelated to the article but I'm surprised the bill and Melinda gates foundation isn't researching issues like obesity or diabetes. Both are serious conditions that while preventable, some struggle with more than others despite how much they try. Both also can impact your entire lifestyle and cause a bunch of other issues as well so finding better methods of treatment and prevention would help so many people around the world, but also alleviate the strain on the healthcare world.
This is very strange. How do you go from "Here have my 135Bn" to "You Get Nothing!"? I wonder if there's more of a story behind this given all that went on with Epstein and the divorce. Even then it seems very strange to hand all the money over to his kids and require unanimity. Either they'll end up deadlocked or basically splitting the cash 3 ways and splurging on their pet projects. I wonder if this ends up massively inflationary in some weird ways.
