Few people have as much or more influence over the U.S. business world than William “Bill” Gates III and his longtime ally in investing, Warren Buffett. Buffett, of course, has several direct ties into manufactured housing via his Berkshire Hathaway (BRK) conglomerate. Gates and his foundation are well invested in BRK stock. So, while many don’t think of Gates as a big name involved in manufactured housing, those who don’t see that obvious financial and other connections are missing an important reality. Furthermore, Buffett and Gates committed years ago to collaborate on what they and some others call “philanthropy.” Dollops of those donations and financial support flow to organizations which have subtle- to obvious-impacts on manufactured housing. Among the possible examples are nonprofits including: the Tides, which supports MHAction, the Urban Institute, Public Broadcasting, Casa, and the Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI), to name a few. Warren’s son Peter Buffett has referred to such ‘giving’ in a classic video interview with Laura Flanders as “philanthro-feudalism.” Buffett’s son exposed the point that so-called “philanthropy” often locks people of limited means into the problematic circumstances that financial or related support is supposedly supposed to alleviate. Such “philanthropy” is extolled by many, but those who do so often have little or no understanding of the actual consequences of that giving. For clarity, that pattern of philanthro-feudalism (also known as philanthro-capitalism) is not to diminish all charitable organizations. But some arguably do fall into the category of “philanthro-feudalism,” as author Joel Kotkin and others have noted. It is with that backdrop that the following tweets by Bill Gates – shown below – and an introduction to them from WND NewsCenter are provided, following a clip from Flanders on “the F-Word” and what she means by that phrase. Note: posting her Obama-Biden era video below is not to endorse all of her views, but rather to provide a leftist insight into the ‘giving’ by billionaire leftists and what such donations are actually accomplishing, or not, as the case may be.

Bill Gates tries to clean up reputation by touting plan to give away lots of money

Says plan could lower his place on ‘wealthiest’ list

By WND News Services
Published July 14, 2022 at 2:23pm

(MEDIA RIGHT NEWS) – Microsoft founder Bill Gates bragged on Twitter about his planned $20 billion dollar endowment to the Gates Foundation this month. In a tweet thread sharing the purpose of the Gates Foundation, as well as highlighting the funding coming from himself and Warren Buffett, Gates shares that he plans to give the foundation “virtually all of my wealth.”

Gates starts the thread with a review of the past two years of living under a global pandemic.

“Several huge global setbacks over the past few years have left many people discouraged and wondering whether the world is destined to get worse.” … ##

Those tweets cited by WND and the source above are the tweets below by long-time Warren Buffett ally, Bill Gates.

Several huge global setbacks over the past few years have left many people discouraged and wondering whether the world is destined to get worse.

— Bill Gates (@BillGates) July 13, 2022

But I’m still optimistic. These setbacks are happening in the context of two decades’ worth of historic progress and I believe it is possible to mitigate the damage and get back to the progress the world was making.

— Bill Gates (@BillGates) July 13, 2022

With the support and guidance of our board, we plan to increase our spending from nearly $6 billion per year today to $9 billion per year by 2026. To help make this spending increase possible, I am transferring $20 billion to the foundation’s endowment this month. pic.twitter.com/ybLMAKPx7I

— Bill Gates (@BillGates) July 13, 2022

I am very proud of the foundation’s role in helping solve big problems like preventing pandemics, reducing childhood deaths, eradicating diseases, improving food security and climate adaptation, achieving gender equality, and improving educational outcomes.https://t.co/D8rJrdoPOE

— Bill Gates (@BillGates) July 13, 2022

Although the foundation bears our names, basically half our resources have come from Warren Buffett. His incredible generosity is a huge reason why the foundation has been able to be so ambitious. I can never adequately express how much I appreciate his friendship and guidance. pic.twitter.com/at7MvJKxQv

— Bill Gates (@BillGates) July 13, 2022

As I look to the future, I plan to give virtually all of my wealth to the foundation. I will move down and eventually off of the list of the world’s richest people.

— Bill Gates (@BillGates) July 13, 2022

I have an obligation to return my resources to society in ways that have the greatest impact for reducing suffering and improving lives. And I hope others in positions of great wealth and privilege will step up in this moment too.

— Bill Gates (@BillGates) July 13, 2022

WND did not elaborate on what they were alluding to that this move aimed at ‘cleaning up’ Gates’ reputation. That noted, as a routine reader on WND, a fair case can be made that it alludes to how Gates has been exposed by them and others on the right – and some on the left too – for Gates’ troubling role in COVID19 pandemic, the subsequent lockdowns, vax mandates, World Economic Forum (WEF) and World Health Organization (WHO) connected efforts, etc. Gates is among those ultra-rich elites who have been compared to the type of access and influence in global affairs normally connected to governments. Additionally, Gates’ divorce, philandering, and connections with the notorious pedo-sex ring connected Jeffrey Epstein are also likely to be on WND’s list of items Gates is trying to improve his reputation on. Then, the Gates-Buffett support for leftist causes that magically benefit their own business interests is the stuff of financial legends. Thus an example of how the notion of ‘philantro-capitalism’ arises, when ‘giving’ ends up acting as one more tool to advance causes through the use of nonprofit organizations and the media influence such organizations may command.  Examples of that outline from across the left-right divide follow.

The evidence-based case can be made that an ‘awakening’ of sort is occurring.

• Among those on the right, champions of the free enterprise system, are beginning to increasingly recognize that not every billionaire or corporation is a ‘friend’ to the free enterprise system, much less of Constitutionally limited government or the belief in inalienable God-given rights.
• Among those on the left, there is a growing awareness that the Democratic Party’s leadership is more beholden to billionaires and their corporate interests than to the coalition of blacks, Hispanics, other minority groups, suburban or and lower income women, etc. that made the election and re-election of the Obama-Biden ticket possible. Left-leaning Axios and others in media have been increasingly reporting on this in 2022 or before.

One upshot of these developments is that the Democratic and Republican Parties of today are developing into something quite different than their common perception in say the 1960s. The late Democratic President John F. Kennedy took steps in his era that were far more in keeping with those of Republican the late President Ronald Reagan than they are with former President Barack Obama (D). The Democratic Party has shifted increasingly leftward toward what is commonly thought of as socialist positions. Those who emigrated to the United States, legally or otherwise, to escape repressive socialist or Communist regimes find they have little in common with the Democratic Party of today. It is a largely Hispanic population that turned out for Mayra Flores in a recent special election in Texas in a congressional district that has been solidly Democratic for some 150 years. Representative Flores (TX-R) is now the first Mexican-born Congresswoman. In Florida, the Hispanic population are reportedly migrating toward Republicans too. While anything is possible in politics, Democratic strategists do not expect a serious challenge to popular governor Ron DeSantis, who has a Hispanic running mate as lieutenant governor, Jeanette Núñez. In Virginia and North Carolina, their lieutenant governors are Winsome Sears and Mark Robinson (black Republicans).

While some political pundits question the GOP’s ability to capture the Senate, others are saying that the Republicans will capture a narrow lead there based on the current pre-November midterm election polling. The question in the U.S. House is how big a victory Republicans achieve – will it be 37 seat shift (one projection being discussed) or an even larger one? While that won’t stop a nominally Biden run White House from continuing their agenda through executive fiat and administrative agencies, his party’s legislative agenda will apparently be dead once a new Congress is seated. MHLivingNews foreshadowed some of this developing pattern weeks before the recent reports on the related topic by Axios.

Change is coming. Former Democratic strategist Dick Morris, who has advised deposed President Donald Trump has a new book that has jumped to number 1 on Amazon called “The Return” of Trump to the White House. Pundit and author Wayne Allyn Root says Biden has done what no Republican – including Trump – could do; unite a majority of the nation behind Trump and his agenda. The billionaire and big business class that flexed its political influence over the Clinton and Obama Administrations – as several left-leaning as well as more conservative publications have reported in 2022 – is increasingly being exposed.  Gates’ recent multi-billion dollar ‘donation’ will no doubt impress some, but it is entirely possible that the once obscured pattern of philantro-feudalism will become exposed to a degree where it will lose its luster. MHProNews will continue to monitor developments that impact the cultural, political, economy, regulations, and thus manufactured housing in direct and indirect fashions.
