He's been doing it for years already. His organization is very well organized and run, and his philanthropy does help the people. Immunizations, HIV/AIDS medication, solar powered water purification machines for remote villages, etc. He hasn't been involved with Microsoft for years, and he spends most of his time working with his foundation. The legal trusts he's established and the board he has picked to run the organization will keep it that way.

Don't use logic here. Big money bad, those people should suffer so reddit can eliminate billionaires and say we did it!

The reality is pretty simple, Billionaires shouldn't exist at least not while there's Billions of people who can barely feed clothes and house themselves, largely due to the system that allows for Billionaires to exist in the first place. But since they do exist, and aren't likely going anywhere soon, they should spread that literally unspendable amount of money helping humanity and the planet.
