that is the image that gates was getting away from, with his charity. and also his ties to "epstein" thats why his philantropy is kinda disengeious, plus if you read up on vaccine colonialism, gates is knee deep in that.

I’m just a normie but I got a new work laptop recently and I’m amazed at how shitty Office is niw

Capitalism as expected. Workers can work all they want but the owners keep most of the profits

Perhaps one of the most dangerous drugs, capitalism.

We desperately need to change the laws that govern corporations. Our legal system requires them to behave like sociopaths.
