Hasn’t he and Melinda already donated over $45B?

Besides the UN never said $6B would end world hunger. It was the director of the United Nationals’ World Food Programme. And he only said $6.6B could fight would hunger. Meaning they could feed 42M people for one year. That’s huge and absolutely worth doing, but it’s not “solving” world hunger, it does little to affect change for next year or the years after.

What happens when Reddit changes their TOS and adds a clause like Craigslist has? "You agree not to copy/collect CL content via robots, spiders, scripts, scrapers, crawlers, or any automated or manual equivalent (e.g., by hand)."

They don't need to own the content to enforce terms on how you access their website. Those terms can and have been successfully enforced.

TLDR: After briefly (for 1 week) changing its TOS to give it exclusive copyright to content, Craigslist successfully sued 3Taps on multiple grounds, even after 3Taps switched to obtaining Craigslist data through proxies such as Google.

This is speaking from someone who had an interest and was cheering on 3Taps. I really do wish you the best, but don't be surprised if you're sued successfully.

What would happen if/when justices leave before 18 years (for personal reasons, illness, death, etc)? Would you get a situation where eventually multiple 18 year terms start at the same time? Or would someone potentially have a very short term?

How would you ensure that justices aren't incentivized/influenced based on their next job after their term ends?

Can you clarify the "leftist" terms being used?
