Bill Gates alleged philanthropy.

[Ace777]

Philanthropy is an altruistic effort to improve human welfare through charitable giving or other good works.

Bill Gates is NOT into Philanthropy; this is a tax shelter and can even be used to launder money. What amazes me is that the Government lets him get away with it. But that should be no surprise. Warren Buffet says his secretary pays more taxes than he does. They are very good at avoiding taxes and they are very good at fabricating a public image for themselves, so they look good to people.

No telling how much he paid for this article to make himself look good. Then he uses his search engine to promote his propaganda. The thing is that everyone buys into his scams. The government does regulate him a little bit but not that much. This does not even get into what he is doing with AI.

Some of Bill's actions are questionable, before Covid and why is he buying a lot of farmland? I wouldn't buy Microsoft down the stock is headed down.

I bought microsoft when they announced GPT. It went up quite a bit. Gates was buying it at the time also.

Maybe to keep China from buying it up.

Both were buying large amounts and why would we allow a potential hostile to do it?

I missed the boat on Tesla. I could have turned $5,000 into $50,000. Warren Buffet tells us to throw darts to pick a stock. Yeah so we can put money in his pocket. I do not bet on companies, I bet on people. So for me Amazon & Tesla were a great deal when I could get them for $60 a share.

What was worse was I messed up and sold my disney stock thinking the pandemic would shut them down. It was JUST the opposite. The pandemic helped the disney channel and the price went up on their stock.

What is suspicious is that 7 months before the Pandemic Gates was at a conference at John Hopkins about a pandemic crisis and ideas for response. I don't know for a fact, but I heard they used some of their recommendation from this conference. Besides his involvement in medicine, we have to hide and watch. I wish I was a fly on the wall during the DAVOS closed door meetings.

He made a ton of money off of computer virus. So he must have decided he could make more off of the real thing. He was talking three years before the virus about how we needed to prepare for it.

He paid for the research but through a holding company he owns 10% of the drug company that sold the virus. What was really the clincher was his strategy that people could not fly on airplanes or go to sporting events if they did not get vaccinated. My wife had to be vaccinated or lose her job. He likes to play with a rigged deck but then somehow has a image of being a nice giving person. He does not GIVE anything. All he does is invest his money.

Ecclesiastes 2:26 To the person who pleases Him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner He gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.

So, a person invests their money and their time, should be penalized for what they earn?

I don't care what Bill Gates makes! The fact is, Microsoft has employed thousands of people and
paid into the economy something that most of us will never do. He made the investment in money
and time to become successful.

If you're living comfortably, great, learn to live your own life. If you want to try and make
lots of money, fine, take the financial risks and work 18 hours a day until your business is
sound. Otherwise, bring your jealousy to a communist nation where the government
will take from you whatever they think you should live on and tell you how to live.

Meanwhile, be grateful for what we have, for things could be far worse and are in various parts of the world.

If his name is Bill Gates he should be. But you tell me what do you use, google, windows, galaxy (samsung), apple. Bill Gates has finally done something productive with AI which was really the brainchild of Elon Musk. But if you think windows is worth the price that Gates sells it for then go at it and be a Bill Gates fan if you love his operating system and the price that he charges for it. Yes he has his cronies but he is still the figurehead. They love to laugh their way all the way to the bank with your money. Look at his y2k scare and how much he pocked off of that. Now look at the vaccines for the virus to see how much he put in his pocket at your expense.

Gates paid $50,000 for dos and leased it to IMB so he could sell IBM clone computer. He stole windows from Amega and did not pay a penny for it. Remember in the beginning everything was free for whoever wanted it. Now windows is a one billion dollar business. How do you go from $50,000 to one Billion. Ask Bill Gates. By getting in your pocket and getting your money.

Again, if you want to start a business, invest your own money and put in the long hours as Bill Gates did when he started.

I use the platforms I like, which is none of your business!

If you don't like Windows, Google or whatever, don't use them, it's how the free market works.

I am going to have to get some higher boots and bigger shovel. It is getting deep in here.

You know NOTHING about me, you do not know how long of hours I work or how I invest my time or money.

I'm not saying anything about you, so don't get your panties in a bunch.

I only stated the fact that if you WANT to start your own business, then do as Bill Gates did when he started.

If you already have a business, you would be arguing about Bill Gates.

 

[Ace777]

If you already have a business,

I had my own business for most of my life. Two different business for 20 years each. Now a days there are people that work 30 years but it use to be in 20 years you would change and do something else. I worked for other people for about 10 years before I started my own business.

How would you like having the earnings you made in your business taken away by the state and given
to someone who sits at home and watches TV and eat Cheetos all day?


That's what you seem to be advocating with regards to Bill Gates.

My complaint with Gates is WHAT HE DOES, not how much money he makes. That seems to be an issue for you though.

I charged very little. Maybe $20 an hour because I was there to provide a service for people. I could have charged $100 if I wanted to. I know a furnace guy that tries to charge people $1000 an hour to do $100 worth of work. I see doctors charge $5000 for five min of work. Of course the insurance only pays them 5 or 600 but that is still a lot more than what I charged people.

My treasures are in Heaven, not here on Earth.
