Bill Gates is sad. The co-founder of software giant Microsoft (MSFT) – Get Microsoft Corporation Report turned philanthropist laments the direction the world is heading.

In a series of tweets, Gates lists what he calls “setbacks” over the past two years, as if to say that our world is regressing on so many issues.

“Several huge global setbacks over the past few years have left many people discouraged and wondering whether the world is destined to get worse,” the philanthropist posted on his account. “The pandemic is one of the biggest setbacks in history. The war on Ukraine is a gigantic tragedy for the entire world. The damage from climate change is already worse than most models predicted. The U.S. has taken a huge step backwards for gender equality and women’s health.”
