    I just read this: Bill Gates, Vaccine Monster | The New Republic

    Pro: The article is filled with enlightening information about Gates' deep love of intellectual property rights and his hatred for anything that infringes on them. An example is the TRIPS waiver for covid vaccines. I loved learning some of the details.

    Con: It's an atrocious read and a real slog at ~6k words. I really hated reading it. It's a case study in how to not write an article. It's confusing. It's crammed to the brim with details many of which are unneeded. The organization of the article is a mess. The writer doesn't even mention waivers at all until many paragraphs in. There's waaaaaaaay too much inside baseball.

    I wonder if the writer served as his own editor. That's always a shit situation. To save money does The New Republic not even have an editor?
