Yeah, the Foundation is "stupid". It's stupid if you don't care about saving kids in extreme poverty who die from easily curable sicknesses. It's stupid if you don't care about trying to improve the education across the U.S. and the World. It's stupid if you don't care about offering vaccines to millions of people who wouldn't get them without the Foundation. The Foundation is trying to help with HUGE worldwide problems, things that only governments could tackle before. Kids can't help where and in what situations they are born. The Gates foundation tries to help these people from the money their contributors earned and decided to place some of these earnings into a foundation that can have a real worldwide impact. I find these aspirations noble but apparently others think this is "stupid". Makes sense.
