But Gates is still worried about domestic polarization in the U.S., which he sees little hope for in the short-term. I admit that political polarization may bring it all to an end, were going to have a hung election and a civil war, he said. I have no expertise in that, Im not going to divert my money to that because I wouldnt know how to spend it.
Notice thats a declarative statement, not I think or it might be. Hes saying it as if its a fait accompli. He doesnt say what he bases that on. He obviously thinks its pretty serious because he says, it may bring it all to an end. But instead of saying he would do something to try to alleviate that polarization which he thinks might bring everything to an end, he says hes not going to put his money into that, like its an investment opportunity that he doesnt want to get involved in. If you thought that everything was about to end, would that be the way you would respond? Gates will, however, put his money into trying to eliminate the diseases that make the world inequitable, to bring those largely to an end. Assuming the polarization doesnt end it all. Hes also become the largest farmland owner in the United States, which doesnt sit well with real farmers like Will Harris.

Bill Gates has invested tens of millions of dollars in bird flu and African Swine flu. By reducing food supplies, he is making Nationwide Food Riots very likely. And that could lead to a Civil War.
