    This always gets to me.

    “Contaminated water is a major source of disease, including cholera, dysentery, and typhoid. It is estimated that contaminated water kills about 829,000 people every year, making it one of the world’s biggest killers. The cost to provide clean water and waste disposal for everyone on earth would be about $240 billion, or 8% of the wealth controlled by the 400 richest Americans.”

    He alone could fund clean water and plumbing to the entire world. Without changing his lifestyle at all.

    Not one city.

    Not one state.

    Not one country.

    The world.

    Billionaires are disgusting and don’t deserve to be called human.

    "These programs combined would completely transform our world. By redistributing this wealth, millions of lives would be saved. Billions would be rescued from poverty and disease. By inconveniencing just 400 people, the entire human race could advance to a new, unprecedented level of development.

    And all of them would still be billionaires afterwards."
