Bill Gates — Most Dangerous Philanthropist in Modern History?

Gates was happy to be an apolitical nerd stealing ideas to make Microsoft better, allegedly. The Clinton's and Congress shook him down in the 90's with threats of a break up. He's been a good boy ever since
Not surprising that a Seattle kid from Lakeside would bat from the left side. -
BTW, the picture of he and his wife in Derek's article....holy shit, she looks like a dude playing a chick on SNL. WOOD NOT!!!

This sounds like some DSA college freshmen crying about how when rich person X donates however many millions of dollars to support a good cause, it’s the same as a minimum wage worker donating $5.
Guess we shouldn’t bother playing the game. -

His achilles heel, among millions of others, is his nerd brain. The same brain that can hold 20 completely different concepts at the same time, is also prone to robotic behaviors, lack of empathy, and at its worst, sadistic behavior. That's the spectrum, but not BG, necessarily.Fenderbender123 said:I've never been able to see why anyone has a problem with Gates. I've read about him, watched documentaries, followed news stories, etc...and nothing. I've never seen the guy do anything wrong to anyone in any way, or do anything scandalous or sketchy or unethical.
Bill's most notorious asset - impatience - is also his worst liability when it comes to world health, education, and other causes he supports. He's too impatient to be a scientist or doctor, but at his core, I really believe he means well in every endeavor. He is also besieged by an ultra-competitive personality that doesn't take well to personal sleights.
A very complicated man, but ultimately, I think, one who wants to make the world better, not subject to his control.
PS - You won't find better people than his parents. Especially his mother. Very classy woman. -
