Not in a great man theory sort of way, but who would you say is the worst living human today? Sometimes I get too bogged down with thinking about our issues as systematic and forget that all policy has someone signing off on it and that got me thinking and I've arrived at Bill Gates. With his work in Africa, how he ruined computers for the world, and the Epstein ties I'd say he's gotta at least be up there.
I think you undersell Gates by not mentioning that he pushed for the Oxford COVID vaccine to be patient protected. I've no idea how to try and calculate it, but there are a lot of dead or debilitated people in the global south because Gates lobbied to limit access to a vaccine that could have otherwise been more easily mass produced and distributed.
Yeah, but Trump's administration was part of that too, so he wins by default since he was also POTUS.
Gates basically controls the WHO as the Gates foundation is one of their biggest benefactors, almost spending as much as the U.S. government. If you want to work in global health and run afoul of capitalist interests you're going to have a bad time.
I disagree, Gates gets to rule over the world until the day of his death, whoever the POTUS is only gets a term or two.
The question is just difficult because yes the American war machine has killed more than Gates but even if you figure out the US leader who greenlit the most deaths it probably doesn't reach the number Gates has killed over his entire life
