He also have the bills & melindas "charity" who controls lots of IP in the biotech industry (and more). It's not all roses.

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

[–] lobut@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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.

[–] Jimmymcool@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Yes, Walmart is a publicly traded company and its stock (WMT) is listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
