I had the audacity to criticise Bill Gates (a hoarding billionaire), floods of people rose to protect him ...

So yes.

[–] chuymatt@startrek.website 12 points 5 days ago (20 children)

Well, he is trying to give away ALL of his wealth before he dies now, so he has that up on other billionaires.

Now, as for how he ended up with those billions…

He isn't giving away his wealth my poor summer child.

He said that in the nineties and he did "give away" 45 billions, but to his own "charity" which he controls, to avoid paying taxes.

Let that sink in, you have a hundred billions and you wake up early to figure out how to pay less taxes...

This is a recent statement.

Again, not saying he is a good guy. Just better than other billionaires.

Many billionaires have said that. Look at what they do. Not what they say.

So he's repeting it, and not doing it? Like he lies again? What are you trying to convey?

[–] chuymatt@startrek.website 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Can ya calm yer shit down and quit being a condescending ass to another person? Is that at all possible?

This is a change from what his plan was previously and was just announced last month. If you could read, I have not once defended the guy, just pointed out a difference between him and others. That’s it. He has always been a conniving schmuck and billionaires should not exist.

People without arguments use their hands.

He has told that lie 20 years ago, 30? But never done it, what's news in that link if it isn't that its not news but a lie?

Bill Gates is 69, Mark Zuckerberg is 41. When Gates was 41 he was much worse than Zuckerberg(or most other billionaires) is now and we don't even know what Zuck will be doing when he's 69. Time will tell but it will take a bit of effort to be worse than Bill Gates.
