So I just read Bill Gates' 1976 Open Letter To Hobbyists, in which he whines about not making more money from his software. You know, instead of being proud of making software that people wanted to use. And then the bastard went on and made proprietary licences for software the industry standard, holding back innovation and freedom for decades. What a douche canoe.

I love that show. When you compare him to other billionaires he’s not the worst. I think Jeff bezos does more harm. He has an episode too

Not winning a race to the bottom doesn't make someone good or decent, though

Any any good person wouldn't become a billionaire in the first place.

Very true but if you’re deciding which of the rich to eat he’s probably not the first to start with.
