Almost everyday I receive a report about Bill Gates generosity and the philanthropist actions of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Bill Gates generosity demonstrates what happens when a common person works hard and intelligently to gain wealth, status, and power, rather than just inherit it.
Strong intelligent people like Bill Gates threaten the non-meritocratic status quo, as their determination and intelligence overpowers the figurative chains that hold the working-man down. Thus, these exceptionally hard-working and intelligent people like Bill Gates take back the power from those non-meritocratically rich and powerful elitists who stay rich off the labor and work of others.
Karen DeYoung of The Washington Post reports:
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the world’s richest charity, joined with the Rockefeller Foundation yesterday to launch a new development initiative for sub-Saharan Africa that they said would revolutionize food production and reduce hunger and poverty for tens of millions of people.
Modeled on the Rockefeller-pioneered “green revolution” that transformed farming methods and staved off widespread famine in much of the developing world nearly a half-century ago, the initiative coincides with a new round of Western concern about the long-intractable problems of the poorest continent.
Home to 16 of the 18 most undernourished countries, Africa is the only part of the world where food production has decreased in recent years.
