They pre digest and select information and feed those to the reptilian layers of their audiences' brains rather than present detailed information so that people can make decisions by themselves.
That's why most of their messaging is driven by fear: fear of other countries, fear of other people with different skin colour, fear of being replaced, fear of their women marrying or mating with minorities, fear of their jobs going away to other people.
Still with all their fear, right wingers prefer to listen to someone who pre-digests information for them rather than thinking by themselve, as long as that person's messaging is in sync with their fears, as long as their brains confirms the thoughts that are analoguous to their fears.
That is why the right wing has such an assortment of people with vastly different abilities. The range goes from Donald Trump (self-proclaimed stable genius, also Emperor-with-no clothes), Dave Rubin (Stokes fear for Koch money), Kellyanne Conway (everything for money), Fox "News" hosts (money money money and white like me or trying to be), Candace Owens (black but gimme da money and I'll say anything against my people), Alex Jones (just plain crazy but gets his money selling bone broth), to Jordan Peterson (education is evil but I'm an intellectual) or Steve Bannon (Schemes like Codfix).
These people appeal to right wing audiences because they think they are a diverse group and thus have concensus amongst a broad swath of society while the only thing that they really have in common is hate.
In reality the USA has always been right wing to some degree, but now that part of American culture just like the rest is spreading to other countries because of measures such as the spread of poverty, cuts to government services, cuts to education, offshoring and their governments just having zero plans for the benefit of local populations in the near of far future.
Gates was responsible for writing the first Altair Microsoft BASIC interpreter, except the bootloader, the software for the Kyotronic clones (designed in collaboration with Kay Nishi and licenced to Kyocera, Tandy and others).
Gates also had ample experience in programming minicomputers such as DEC PDP series together with Paul Allen.
You can read all about it in all the Bill Gates biographies out there.
There's really no need to destroy anyone over it. There are worse things in the world to get mad about.
The marginal tax rate is the percentage of tax applied to your income for each tax bracket in which you qualify. In essence, the marginal tax rate is the percentage taken from your next dollar of taxable income above a pre-defined income threshold.
The marginal tax rate includes federal, state and local income taxes, as well as federal payroll and self-employment taxes. This differs from the average tax rate, which is the total tax paid as a percentage of total income earned.
In my country (and most others outside of the US I'm sure (even China does employment law better the the US https://www.chinalawblog.com/2017/02/china-employee-terminat...) ) there's legal precedent and legislation to prevent employers from firing people without sufficient reasons and also to penalize employers who break a promise of employment.
The USA however is too corrupt to care for its citizens (HN usually DEMANDS the 'sauce' so here's the 'sauce' https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/perspectives-on-poli....
The kid is just a BABY and won't turn into an engineer for at least 10 more revolutions around this star.
It took almost ten years (2007-2017) from JPP being shunned by the scientific community (and the highly politicised French Wikipedia) to others "discovering" the same things he had been saying all along. https://arxiv.org/abs/0712.0067

You may give yourselves the smallest pat on the back in the universes.
No, it's NOT time to breed humanzees or Chimphumans and vindicate Alex Jones. It IS time to give legal protections to species that live in their own society and pass on culture and language through teaching and observation - sentient species like corvids, dolphins, apes and whales.
Stop trying to hide madness by cloaking it with the false pretense of intellectualism. David P. Barash should retire STAT.
You're better off fighting the influence of money in politics if you want your taxes to be well spent
