For anyone that doesn’t know about Death Note it’s a fictional notebook from a death god. If you write someone’s name in it while picturing thier face they die. You can also manipulate thier actions and method of death to some extent.

Death note rules.

    You leave Bill Gates alone

    Edit: I was going to delete it, but I’ll let it stand.
    I agree there are no good billionaires, but he’s mild in comparison.
    My thought is his death doesn’t really change anything. Dude retired AGES ago and doesn’t have his hand in anything.

      I don’t care how much positive press he buys, he’s on the list. There are no good billionaires.

        At least 95% of this wealth is going to donations when he dies and he’s not hoarding it like a dragon or burning the world down.

          Hoarding it until he dies is still hoarding it.

          There are no ethical billionaires because the act of hoarding a billion dollars is inherently unethical. Giving only some of it to charity is not enough to justify how much more damage was done in the first place.

            There’s an old Indian story about a rich man who gives every beggar he sees a coin, until he has no more coins and is a beggar himself.

            How much good did that man do by frittering away his wealth? You’re surely familiar with the adage, “It takes money to make money.”

            Would you have a man like Gates blast out all his wealth, and then be unable to produce more to continue his philanthropy? Would you have him shut down his disease eradication and vaccination programs so as to not be an evil billionaire? Would that somehow clear his conscience? Or would it merely make you feel better?

            Some of you have the financial sophistication of sophomores. And by “some”, I mean you [email protected].

              A billionaire would need to give a coin every second of his life for millions of years to deplete their fortune. The rich man of the story wasn’t rich enough, or was giving much more than a coin.

      Lol. He knows how to get off of the list. If anyone can donate fast enough to outrun a make believe magic book, he can.
