The question was about whether a billionaire had done anything good.
Agreed - he is somewhere between a shitty husband or a monster, but he definitely has helped rid the world of some bad diseases, and his charities continue to do quite a bit of good around the world.
In the old days, you could just pay the church for absolution; now, you have to rid the world of diseases. SMH
Inflation is everywhere nowadays. In my day you could get absolution for a nickel.
Thank you
