    I liked pickled onions, gherkins and pickled walnuts, but I've never had a pickled egg. I bet Gambol has.

    Billionaire Bill Gates has said he would rather pay for vaccines than travelling to Mars, which he does not think is a good use of money.

    "It's actually quite expensive to go to Mars. You can buy measles vaccines and save lives for $1,000 (£814) per life saved," he told the BBC.

    "And so [that] just kind of grounds you, as in - don't go to Mars."

    The Microsoft co-founder also believes artificial intelligence will "pretty dramatically" transform humanity.

    He said: "It will help us look into medical and scientific questions. It's not just robots, it's helping to read and write as well.

    "In fact, there's been more progress there than on the robotic side. Both of them will give us much higher productivity."

    'Boogeyman'

    Mr Gates also spoke of his surprise at becoming the face of conspiracy theories during the Covid-19 pandemic.

    "I did not expect that," he said, referring to suggestions he profited from the virus, or started it himself.

    "During the pandemic, there were tens of millions of messages that I intentionally caused it, or I'm tracking people. It's true I'm involved with vaccines, but I'm involved with vaccines to save lives.

    "These messages sort of inverted that. I guess people are looking for the 'boogeyman' behind the curtain, the over-simplistic explanation. Malevolence is a lot easier to understand than biology."

    Mr Gates also spoke about how he, like many other philanthropists, met sex offender and financier Jeffrey Epstein.

    "I'm certainly more careful now than back when I did that. I'll do a little more due diligence. I may make a mistake again. I'm out in the world and I'm not trying to be a recluse."

    Im assuming that you think Mr Gates is a wonderful person and his comments about paying for vaccines shows how much he cares for us, as a puff piece is printed in a press outlet that he directly contributed millions to?

    Bill Gates also made billions in profits from his vaccines that governments signed contracts that tax payers paid for even when they end up in a landfill.

    https://www.cnbc.com/2019/01/23/bil...to-200-billion-worth-of-economic-benefit.html


    The selfless Billionaire that tries to give his fortune away but somehow keeps getting richer & richer.

    I'm sure he'll accidentally make a massive profit on synthetic food & climate change too.

    Is there a way of becoming and remaining a Billionaire that doesn't involve grossly overcharging for the product somewhere along the lines?

    There's research that shows that many in the top layers of business score very highly on the tests for psychopathic traits.
