I know if I was running a drug company I'd see a cure for any major disease as a hit to our bottom line, so I'd shelve that R&D down loooow. |
I'll ignore the conspiracy theory there.
Just a thought, but maybe they need money because they have so very few of their needs met, in a "right now" kind of situation?
The living standards in the US, despite your criticisms in the other thread, are far higher those in the countries you're talking about in Africa. In many cases, these people don't even have running water, let alone a decent food source, or even basic education. How can you say that money is poorly spent?
Also, Gates and Buffet are rich as fuck. It's their money, let them do what they want with it
