The poor aren't automatically noble. They are often better off emotionally because they are more realistic. Life doesn't and shouldn't offer limitless resources. And the sooner we know that in life, about our own limits, the better. Most people acquire as much wealth as they can, spend as much or slightly more than they can afford, and love gadgets. The issue with this article is it slyly turns the author into a hero, and of that I am suspicious. We can spend all day maligning Bill Gates and all other billionaires because yes, they have problems. They aren't automatically evil, however, any more than poor people are inherently noble. There are good and bad at all levels of society, it's just that having gobs of money is destructive to mental health and having unlimited money is probably not something anyone handles well. It's simplistic to label the Gates Foundation as some sort of conspirational attempt to rule the world, with an evil end game. I don't like Gates because he was buddies with Jeff Epstein, but it's hard for me to sit and judge the right way to spend a pile of money that staggering.
