Bill Gates Wants To Talk To You About Poop
John Herrman

The latest stage in Bill Gates’ ongoing mission to be able to sleep at night despite being one of the richest men in the world is all about sanitation.

It’s been said many times before, but Gates is one of a tiny handful of good role models for the super-wealthy: he will die knowing that he had an impact in his business, as most fabulously wealthy people can, but far more importantly that he saved hundreds of thousands of peoples’ lives with what he reaped from it.

From the video:

Four out of 10 people worldwide don’t have a safe way to poop. Find out why we need a toilet revolution. We need new ideas to help reduce disease and find new ways to turn crap into valuable stuff, like fuel, fertilizer, and fresh water.”

      This guy is a DOUCHE! He buys up all the cheap banned polio vaccines for his ‘campaign’ and ends up spreading paralyzing polio all over Africa rather than dealing with the actual issues they face: STARVATION AND NO SANITATION!

      *This* is how you go about being ridiculously wealthy. His charitable initiatives never fail to amaze and inspire me. So much win.
