5. You hit the irony right center there Rex!

6. Well we would love for that to be true. Even better if the end of all poverty was in sight.

But I watched Mircosoft destroy companies for their technology over the decades...my trust in Bill Gates is razor thin.

11. Rex, my trust in anything Gates says...

is thinner than that. If he says it, I assume it must be bs.

[geardaddy]

10. Yeah, that was my first though.

7. Is there a notch below poor?

[Lady Freedom Returns]

8. Yes, if you mean being poor as in below the poverty line but still have some sort of means.

it is Destitution, poverty so extreme that one lacks the means to provide for oneself.

9. Maybe that's what he means

[FSogol]

12. Sounds like a dopey quote, but has it been taken out of context?

Is "no poor countries" a goal?
