    He owns a shitton of farmland so the John Deere investment makes sense

    Not the best person but food instability is a thing he (supposedly) cares about

      Hmm, I wonder what he thinks about how John Deere screws over farmers with their anti-right to repair shit.

        He doesnt care. He cares that farmland will be the most valuable resource there is once we get food or water shortage.

        Thinking ahead. People stay rich by owning something essential others must buy.

    So the link says it’s the portfolio of the Gates Foundation Trust. So it doesn’t include his personal holdings.
