This however is also true of most companies and certainly most charities. Waste isn’t a unique hallmark of government.

But this waste is something Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (the beneficiary of both Gates and Buffett wealth) screens for with intense due diligence. The government does not. In fact, the government seems proud of its pork barrel.
