Isn't Bill Gates basically betting on this scenario not happening?

I don’t think even Bill Gates was counting on something as devastating as what is happening in Venezuela at the moment. His charity needs minimally functional countries to be able to access all children.

the human development index of Venezuela is in the top half of countries world wide.

The latest UN HDI data is from 2016 - things have gone /drastically/ downhill for Venezuela since then, especially in the last 6 months.

Bill Gates was betting on people not getting vaccinated but still being immune?

we had some labor standards included in the TPP but obviously it was worth less than dirt when it came to public appeal

just buy them on other exchanges and hodl for the pump

I was going to recommend "The State of Washington" but even that is ambiguous.

yes, or even "The District"

what's so key about that? I and many others know that the Baby Boomers hoarded wealth to create their own class that is very hard to enter into. You can certainly 'blame' them when it comes to things like Prop 13 and their inability to protect social security for future generations.

I don't think the vast majority of 60 minutes viewers would have been aware about any of the details mentioned in this piece. Not everybody follows Google anti-trust chatter.

a similar line a reasoning led to the housing crisis, didn't it? Everyone should be able to get a mortgage!

Chinese miners and other state subsidized miners will mine bitcoin at a loss to push out the competition and gain marketshare.

An obvious problem, sure, but no easy solution.
