God forbid we throw more money down the rabbit hole, and doesn't it make sense to start at home first then where ever else. Bill Gates is just another case of Get money, get Notoriety, get Stupid.

If you're looking for human sympathy, then you've come to the wrong place.

I think of it like this; if the water pipe under your house is leaking and the water pipe under your neighbors house is leaking you need to fix your own leak first. It doesn't matter that your neighbors is a worse leak. You fix yours and then you help your neighbor with the supplies you have left. With what people like Gates give to other countries they could set up companies and housing for all of our homeless. Hell, they could even set up rehab plus jobs and housing and do it in a part of the country that isn't over crowed. That would help not only our homeless situation but also our economy and over crowding in big cities. Instead, they send money to other countries that doesn't actually help those people. If they wanted to help they would set them up with skills and jobs and freaking armed guards not just damn rice, water and vaccines.
