Oh' my god, Bill Gates must be a "communist" or something: "I mean, do people have a clear view of what it means to live on $1 a day,” asked Gates. “There’s no electricity in that house. None…You’re just buying food, you’re just trying to stay alive.” Conjuring up an image of an African village receiving a computer, Gates said: “The mothers are going to walk right up to that computer and say, ‘My children are dying, what can you do?’ They’re not going to sit there and like, browse eBay or something. What they want is for their children to live. They don’t want their children’s growth to be stunted. Do you really have to put in computers to figure that one out?" prudentbear.com
