I guess this is the type of modelling CNBC used for millenial spending in their infamous tweet[0]; I don't know many people that actually donate >10% of their income to charity.

What you want to do is set up a charity in a Third World country and give them a steady stream of money that goes to the governmental leaders for their own personal projects, like a school or something. Do this for a few years and then you're positioned to get control of the country's natural resources at well-below market prices due to, ah, corrupt local leaders willing to sell out their country's interests in exchange for more 'charity'.

See: Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, etc.

I get the first part of your plan, but do you have some sources for the second part?

How is that foundation exploiting the first step, in practice?
