It’s really unfortunate that Bill Gates has the capital for such large scale projects that have a huge impact on society. He made that money unethically, his “charity” has upsides but mostly results in Bill Gates having more control over things and yes, Epstein.

I’m pro-nuclear but anti Gates+nuclear. Or Gates+ anything really.

Bill Gates may not have a perfect business record, but it's not like he was running rubber plantations protected by an army of child soldiers.

The whole Epstein-Gates-pedophilla-cabal theory is a load of nonsense.

Epstein and Gates relationship is well documented with more being uncovered regularly.

What specific allegations of wrongdoing would you like to make against Bill Gates in relation to Epstein? Come out with it.

The mere fact that well-known philanthropist Bill Gates happened to meet with convicted-pedophile-who-tried-to-rebuy-his-credibility-through-philanthropy Jeffrey Epstein doesn't imply Gates was involved in any pedophilla.

Like I said, Gates relationship with Epstein is well documented. Go read the New York Times or The New Yorker pieces on it. What we know already disqualifies Gates from operating in the public sphere. He met with Epstein dozens of times after his conviction.

on the other hand they made PCs being common and enabled billions of people to use them

Windows PCs were way more expensive than alternatives like Commodore, Amiga, Atari…

And way more non-programmer friendly.

I dislike Bill Gates' era Microsoft, but his post-Microsoft life is OK.

Not really. He’s embedded himself in public policy to a dangerous degree. He was advocating to horde vaccines for instance. And like I said, his Epstein stuff was post-MS.
