    I still dont understand what youre getting at? My point was funding the current government is in no way better than having Bill Gates own the money who at least donates it. What part of your comments contradicted that?

      My point is that the government doesn’t exist, it’s a facade that veils the reality. Just seems like we are desynced here, which is fine.

      Bill Gates could be spending his money to develop Africa. He could’ve already put money towards solving the water crisis and made significant strides towards that goal.

      He could be the addressing colonialism, imperialism, and modern slavery - including calling out our companies that knowingly use and support child slavery (e.g. for our cocoa). It is a raw deal for these countries - and the first-world overwhelmingly benefits from their labor, resources, and goods/exports.
