> Bill Gates has come a long way since the days of absolutely ruthless Microsoft. It's not surprising that there are still many people whose lives were made worse by its business practices who really do not like Bill Gates, and are inclined to believe bad things about him.

I don't think there's much of an intersection between some pissed off techies who worked in the industry in the late 90s, and the millions of batshit insane people who think that he is part of the Zionist deep state conducting mass sterilization through COVID vaccine microchips.

Now imagine Zuckerberg, leaving Facebook and telling you to get vaccine in your own interest.

Think twice about that.

One of those two people has a two-decade track record of poverty, education, and health philanthropy.

The other's political involvement is, quite frankly, something else entirely.

I've thought twice about it, and your indignation remains unfathomable. I have no great love for either Zuck or Gates, but an untethered Zuck, what with his intense liberal conditioning that Gates never endured, would weep very publicly for increased vaccinations (or whatever costs-be-darned public health initiative du jour).
