This once would have been considered indentured servitude because it is indentured servitude. Everything old is new again.
It's not indentured servitude, since no one is forced to do anything. It's a better example of regulatory capture.
Of course it is indentured servitude. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indentured_servant No one was forced to go to the New World either. I don't know where this mania for choice is coming from. Indentured servitude--just like student debt--is and was a problem not because there wasn't a "free choice" but because the power inequalities upon which the system was built. The poor had a choice but it was a choice between rigged systems. Edit: Yes, you are correct now that I think about it. It is an example of regulatory capture also. It's both. But the morally pernicious part is the indentured servitude while regulatory capture only implies a moral hazard.
The Foundation spends large amounts in foreign elections and politics. It is not just a humanitarian organization.
