[@MysterEarl]

Troll Face, I don't think that there is anything we can do to prevent people from hijacking good-natured movements; just look at the feminist movement. What I can say is this: We should support endeavors which benefit society. Globalization should not become a global bureaucracy. What we need to support are projects that make nations stronger; for there is no United Nations without sovereign nations and there is no global community without the smaller units of community.

Dear Billionaire, in Cambodia, we always use the word "Eliminate Poverty" or "Eradicate Poverty". We never use the word "Refuse Poverty"

[@DrewWithington]

So refreshing that you care, and have the drive and access to resources to make substantial change happen. I hope this doesn't seem cynical, but to me it seems quite possible that tackling extreme poverty in sub-Saharan Africa will be a harder nut to crack than China and India. Both of these countries have had a strong orientation towards helping the poor at an elite level for a long period of time e.g. producing people like Gandhi and Mao. I.e. there has been an intrinsic motivation within these countries to reduce poverty. And with the rapid economic development of these countries in recent decades a by-product has been a reduction in extreme poverty. In India the government positively discriminates towards members of the Untouchable caste, the poorest people, in recruiting for government jobs. But in sub-Saharan Africa it is hard to see this intrinsic motivation. In fact many of these countries rank amongst the most corrupt in the world. e.g. in Nigeria billions of dollars in oil tax revenue has disappeared into politicians Swiss bank accounts, instead of being used to help ordinary people as it could and should have been. So while amazing people like you can provide the extrinsic motivation for these countries to change, there also needs to start being more intrinsic motivation.

@Jack Green I can see you have personal hate against those who worked hard to become rich. No one gave rich people the money they have made in their life. They have earned this. And Bill Gates did not make money by selling stolen oil from the Middle East or selling fire arms during war. But once someone is rich why that is somehow becomes a self-centered scumbags in our point of view? I also donate money to people in need, does not mean I will donate all my wealth immediately. I need good cause and justification. Perhaps you are not wealthy enough to donate money. But even if you donate your labour, you would justify first before you get engaged. I hope you can understand. Chill!

[@ldtalent]

Mr. Gates, it was wonderful having you speak at our graduation at Stanford in 2014, and I completely agree with you that investing in human capital is the way to go. That being said, where will the money come from to make that investment? No one person has the money required, and not all governments are as organized as China's: - aid relies on rich people and rich countries and there simply isn't the required political will to transfer the several trillion per year needed to bring all people out of poverty - changing corrupt local governments, particularly in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa is not possible - nor is it easy to cause social change. What I think is much easier is to couple educational conditional cash transfer with industry demand for skilled talent (human capital as you call it) in a sustainable, profitable, and scalable for-profit business model. 1. Pay a few majority world people to learn and master a skill (i.e. software development or design). 2. Find a company or person in a developed country who has a need for a person with that particular skill and is open to hiring a remote worker. 3. Make the match and take either a finder’s fee or a cut on the hourly rate. Use these earnings to pay for education of more majority worlders. 4. Majority worlders making $10-20K per year bring a huge amount of money into their communities. The wealth spreads to their day laborers, restaurants, shops, service providers, educational institutions, etc. This is my vision of “Learning Dollars” - to pay people to learn and then profitably connect them with global talent or production demand. I have written about this in detail in a blog post: blog.learningdollars.com/2019/11/17/how-to-end-world-poverty-and-racial-power-imbalance-in-1-generation/ Very inspired by your work, Gobi Dasu (Stanford BSCS, MSCS, Northwestern PhD Student)

Greetings" They is total disordered in the election sitting in Cameroon. The face of the reading of the election had taken a different face and a different democrat ways of standing in to the judicial hearing where alot of petition writing and accuse of the government and elecam and the number of years president paul biya had taken the sit. mainly was the on going crisis in the Anglophone provinces in Cameroon. Am doing all this for the president Donald T to intervene and make this work and killing of lives to stop and let people be free of fear. I wish CNN was here in Cameroon Videoing everything for the world to see on the reading and making declaration. The lawyers standing up to call on things happening and fraudulent issues mention. This path of writing to u, is to make way for the better even the first president in Cameroon Ahijo signed the issue of federation in Cameroon for the to nation coming together as one unity. The most powerful world need to see what is happening because it had never happened in Cameroon election ever. They is really something else happening. For a clear confession they are many who are presently now living in the bush and many dead. Please Mr Donald and the UN kindly see what is happening now in the election in Cameroon and how people stood up with their petition and fraud words on the election.I had grown through experiences in life and i had acknowledge a lot of things that holds the future and it gave me the strength of fortification in the ability to buildup principles intelligence for making better standard and reasonable sensibility to secure and to stand for right choices, by given your nation a fulfillment of peace and stability. Don't let our ability and strength of building to be put in waste, be the guide to the needed and secure the strength of ability that is been restored to us. The words running in my head or say mind: When u talk of politic to the populist with assurance of sincerity, put this in mind by A LINCOLN: A majority held in restraint by constitutional checks and limitations, and always changing easily with deliberate changes of popular opinions and sentiments, is the only true sovereign of a free people...... TO THE PEOPLE IN THIS NATION: I am loath to close. We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.... Desperately wishing to avoid terrible conflict my fellow people. Please if am wrong correct me so that i may ask for forgiveness. God bless u all and God bless Cameroon and God bless America.

You're inspiration to everyone. But since you have so many statistics... Does any of those consider the local perception of the west and/or religious beliefs? Because I do believe that the very lax, or even missing, relation between people and religion may be an important factor in the current rise of Asia. I mean, if you judge your first customer to walk in the door, perhaps give her/him a worse deal than locals... what's there to attract more customers?

He's doing most presidents job. Doing all these does help economic too, Bill is fixing the problem by starting from the root. Economic don't happen without human. Business will not happen without human; There's no country if there's no human living in. Everything is linked and it always link back to human. and if the human are so busy half of the day surviving (searching for food/being sick) they wont have remaining time for education.Education is not something that your parent want your to read and make you miserable for fun. Education help human to get more information, understanding their surrounding thus they can make better decision, better decision = better economic. You cant fix the economic by just trowing the money into it and you cant fix poverty by just giving them money, not even with Bill's money.
