Bill Gates opened his mouth this week and changed the dialog in the world for decades to come.
Gates claimed that free markets and democracy could not effectively be counted on to fight human caused global armageddon.
This says two things:
-
No matter how rich you are you can be stupid. Half the world now knows it. Half the world doesn’t think human caused global warming is a big issue. That half lives in India, China, Russia, Islamistan and all the other non-Lefties in the world. Most know Gates is very rich and goes everywhere by private 747. Rich and ignorant of the false hysteria about climate armageddon.
-
For decades we will have a prominent example of anti-commerce hypocrisy. The true brainless Scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz: that is Bill Gates. He made all his money in a free market democratic society. He could not have become rich much less mega-rich in any country lacking a free market and democracy.
So Bill Gates, without even understanding what he has done to himself and his progenitors has given us a true ‘icon’ of super rich ignorance and hypocrisy.
I’ve pointed out his Lefty ignorance of development economics in an earlier blog.
