Exactly!

@-ABC- Gates has been around influencing our lives for closing in on four decades now. He will be 66 in a few weeks. Tell us what great strides we have made thanks to him over the past few decades. This happens to coincide with the worst period for completely unjustified wealth disparity, a grotesque attack on civil liberties, pointless, murderous, endless wars, catastrophic climate change, and an obviously corrupted ruling class unlike we have ever seen. Also, a new hopelessness. Check the mass shootings, the gang activity, the opioid crisis, the homelessness crisis, the killings by police . . . The lack of good art and literature in America. Then, this interview is the best one of your whiz kids can do? Only collective intelligence and a spirit of cooperation can solve our problems. Not a handful of Wunderkinder.

@-ABC- I should have read all of your posts before responding to the main one. If you are not paid for this, you are out of your mind. This isn't even a free market discourse, but a post-medieval hero worship one. Adam Smith and J. S. Mill will tell you straight up that NO ONE does what they do in civil society to "help" you. It is up to you to know what is in your best interest, and to assert that interest in the optimally effective manner, not to rely on the elites. They even warn us about the rentier class, which describes Gates perfectly today.

Are you kidding? Gates always sounds like this.

@than217 THIS!

@brothersandsistersofvalhalla Jeffrey and Ghislaine are from upper class, proper backgrounds. It's such a shame we are all so jealous of them. And of the Clintons, Prince Andrew, etc.

@wighensakgr That is a perfectly good response to the ad hom that immediately assumed jealousy, as the post implied that all who criticise the money horders are just envy driven, and that he knows that first hand (!) Jealousy! Can you be that blind? When this bubble bursts . . . Whoa. Have a plan, bro. An exit plan.

Robert C. Christian So . . . A hyper-billionaire spends a lot of time with someone he really doesn't know, in the hopes of getting more money from him, for philanthropy. Hyper-billionaires do this routinely. After all, they need to raise money for charity, and they should leave no stone unturned in their quest to help the poor. It's a sacrifice they make. Sure, a rich guy like Gates really should vet anyone he spends a lot of time with, especially before aaking that person for marital advice, but vetting is, after all, expensive and time consuming, and Bill's razor-sharp instincts told him it would be fine. Got it.

@sandcastledx She consulted the country's top divorce lawyers for advice almost immediately. They had crafted a petition they could both agree on before filing it, and it was granted immediately. Two years is nothing to come up with that agreement. Do you think the Gates were ordinary people?

@VaasMontenegro12 ALL of Gates' interactions with Epstein were AFTER his Florida conviction, which was known to be a sweetheart deal. Look up Andrew Acosta.
1
@sandcastledx One report from a credible source claimed that Epstein had ties to a person with influence on the Nobel Peace Prize committee, which Gates coveted. I tend to believe his interest in frequenting Epstein had nothing to do with sex, but only with gaining an advantage. He also apparently saw Epstein as highly attractive to women and sought his opinions. Gates knew but did not care that Epstein trafficked in underage girls for the hyperrich. Why would he? Why would that matter? Pfft.

@sandcastledx This is known.
1
@sandcastledx Known, except by you.

@sandcastledx You conflate a fact (no evidence at all of interest in the girls, though a callous disregard for what Epstein was doing to them), with this ridiculous hagiography. Gates needed Epstein to raise money? GATES? You're the same as the conspiracy crowd, but in the opposite direction. The fact that Epstein could lure absolutely ANYBODY into his orbit is quite interesting. Clearly he knew how to play Bill Gates, generally known as a tough cookie. A man like Epstein should have had a hard time making new friends after his conviction.

Is it easier to believe Gates is into young teens, or was involved in contracted killing, than to face the fact that the emperor has no clothes? He is amoral, awkward, arrogant, and very, very stupid.

When America has so many wonderful billionaire philanthropists and generally stable geniuses, I wonder why we have the most COVID deaths?

@brothersandsistersofvalhalla There is a credible report that Gates frequented Epstein to gain access to someone close to the Nobel Peace Prize committee, which Gates coveted. There are also reports he was interested in Epstein's views on women and sex, since Epstein appeared to be successful in that area. There is no evidence Gates was looking for underage partners. He just didn't care that Epstein trafficked in girls for elites. Why would he care? He has shown time and time again that morals are meaningless to him, starting with how he behaved during the Microsoft antitrust proceedings and how he treated Microsoft employees from the very start -- not to mention how the Foundation is run. Self-dealing and influence peddling are at the top of the agenda. If you don't care to read about this, why do you care to comment? Get a cut yourself, or give it up.

@-ABC- There is not a single major publication, independent of his public relations machine, that has not criticized the Gates Foundation's influence on education. You can't miss it, it's been that bad. Read it if you care. Even an investment book, Alpha Brain, talks about an egregious mistake Gates Foundation made in determining causality in their poorly-thought-out initiative to impose smaller class sizes, which ruined some very good schools. Anyway, it's a common mistake, which is why it was used as a paradigmatic example by the writer. It was then amplified, because lots of foundations copy Gates rather than doing their own research, assuming that he must be right because he's so rich.

@joesmith4965 Does private charity fund Medicare? Does private charity fund CERN?
1
@joesmith4965 Give examples. Fundamental flaw of charity: it creates winners and losers, and is never anything a person can feel entitled to, and hence on some level it shames them.
1
@michaelarmijo4112 Well, every country with a better quality of life, and plenty that are quite poor, provide universal health care. You're fine with the fact that our Medicare system is universal but discriminates based on age?
1
@michaelarmijo4112 I sympathize with you. I don't want to pay for any Americans, either, except those with roots in Asia, Africa, or the Americas, or at least Eastern Europe. The rest are one big hate fest.
1
@michaelarmijo4112 Whoosh
1
@michaelarmijo4112 Not at all. I'm emigrating by 2023, with 2025 as my absolute deadline. This joint is too small for the both of us. There is nothing I want from the likes of anyone like you. I'm done.
1
@michaelarmijo4112 No surprise we have the most COVID dead, and 25% of the total dead over the last 14 days across the entire planet, with under 5% of the world's population. Anything better would be a surprise. It just doesn't stop.
1
@michaelarmijo4112 My whole family is abroad. I have no ties with you, except tragic accident of birth.
1
@michaelarmijo4112 You think I lived here my whole life? Or speak English at home? Why would I?
