The planet’s formerly wealthiest person is not happy with the current one.
Bill Gates said: “The image of the world’s richest man taking steps that over time will kill over a million children? It is a pretty stark one.”
Elon Musk, who has overseen massive cuts to the US overseas aid budget, “has not been out to see kids dying”, Gates added. In his work with his foundation, Gates is, conversely, rather familiar with children dying. Thanks in part to Musk, he thinks there will soon be more of them.
Each year, with all the diligence of a business, the Gates Foundation runs the numbers for its key performance indicators. Five million children die every year in the developing world before their fifth birthday. Four years from now, with all being normal, [Gates](https://www.thetimes.com/topic/bill-gates) would have expected to reduce that figure to four million. Today, with all not being normal, he thinks six million is more likely, adding: “We will go backwards.”
I don’t like the framing of these sorts of articles. The parents of these kids are responsible for keeping them alive, if any government has an obligation to them, it’s their native government, not one halfway around the world. You simply shouldn’t base the sustainability of your population on someone else’s good will. There isn’t anything else to be said. Get your shit together or have fewer babies. Their deaths are not on the head of Elon Musk or any American.
> Most notably, there was the confusion caused by there being a Gaza in Mozambique. “US money was being used to prevent mothers giving their babies HIV,” he added. Because of the salience of the other Gaza, Doge “mischaracterised that money as buying condoms for Hamas.”.
> At least temporarily, the money was cut. Getting your Gazas wrong, said Gates, “is not a good excuse for killing people”.
Clown show
Honestly, I don’t know if some of these entities even care if a million children die
In the past you could convince them that those million children might grow up to be customers who buy U.S. products & end up as useful cogs in the machine, but even the free trade angle to spur up some morality seems to be out of vogue these days
