    You’re exhausting.

    Yes, all billionaires are bad, just like all mountains are big. But some mountains are bigger than others. Amazing concept, I know.

      👅👢

      Calling a billionaire “benign” then getting pissy when I give evidence to the contrary is weak shit.

      Also, so long as we’re trading insults i think ill go with “Fragile Ego Piss Baby who thinks some boots don’t taste that bad”

        Your evidence that he is bad is that windows is bad.

        Our evidence that Bill Gates isn’t that bad is that Bill Gates has directly saved millions of lives by donating the vast majority of his wealth to an organization he created to supply medicine, food, and water to the world’s poorest regions namely Africa.

        I feel like we’re not on the same intellectual playing fields.

          what about the numerous sexual harassment lawsuits, decades long friendship with Epstein including numerous trips on the lollita express and his longstanding board membership of Berkshire Hathaway which has presided over numerous ethics violations?

            The flight logs do not show that Bill Gates has ever visited the island on any plane. The most that has been confirmed is that Bill Gates flew from New Jersey to Florida on a private plane owned by Epstein once and that he had dinner with Epstain exactly once, which in interviews he expressed as a major mistake. I remind you that before 2006 Epstein was a public figure as a professional financier and broker and even until 2019 him and Ghislaine participated in major fundraisers.

            Furthermore, your claim is one that gets constantly circulated by right wing nutjobs after a particularly viral tweet in 2023.

            What friendship. He was never at the island according to records. Unless you have some proof.

              Oh, so he just flew on the plane named after the pedophile book and was known to also have children on it for the sexual pleasure of whoever was there?

              The island wasn’t the only place kids were getting fucked, dude
