Why, so they can't create companies to support their countr's GDP to become independent of your pity aid?

What a monopolistic cunt. Make microsoft quit taxing android phones for a windows license before you act like you have a high ground beyond your 22 hidden patents.

What a rich shitmark.

You don't have to agree with everything that a person says or does in order to acknowledge a simple truth. If Gates said the sky is blue, would you (as you have done) call him a 'cunt' for saying so?

Clean water, healthy food, tenable living environment... All these things obviously matter more than internet connectivity. I don't know how anyone could argue otherwise.

If you can get yourself vaccinated against a disease, that's one less thing that can go wrong. You have to be healthy to do things.

The country these people are living in should have hospitals. They should be able to affordably produce antibiotics, malaria nets and everything else.

Antibiotics and most other medical products are unnecesarilly burdened by patents and become prohibitevely expensive unless some rich patron grants them something they could buy at a much cheaper price.

Patents can be a tax on those who are unlucky. I think certain things deserve patents. But the company he represents taxes any linux device as a microsoft device.

I agree people should be healthy. But you know what? Maybe they should be able to make their own fucking choices in their own fucking hospital on their own fucking dime.

He is a cunt for being afraid of competition and supporting autonomy. That is a sign of the weak and those who are unable to deal with truly dynamic problems that come from actual competition.

In all honesty I understand his position. But for him to vocalize it as though he doesn't see the poor billions as potential competitors? Too fucking bad. He can have his own beliefs but fuck spreading a narrative.

I take back most of my shit. I guess that's what happens when you are a neckbeard that can't even code.

Serisously, this is about malaria, internet, a better life for people and you start nagging about ms-vs-google-vs-linux etc?

[batgaijin]

The country could potentially have their own corporations that produce a tax basis for hospitals. Those hospitals could have a much lower cost of setup.

You want me to pretend that his short time frame narrative matters? I'd be happy to die today I knew it was part of a meaningful step for others to get beyond the limits they were born into. Sadly socialist demagoguery tend to be run by worse fucks.
