Why are people not protesting ? Businesses should stop buying Microsoft licenses and that should force Microsoft to remove bill gates completely from the company. Same should be done with Musk, trump etc.

I love replies from people that seemingly only read the first line… Do you think your idea is so perfect it cannot be debated? Your ad-hominem response suggests so, and that makes you just as much of a snowflake as the rest of the red-hatted MAGA twats that are supporting this kind of shit.

I know you also probably didn’t read this far, but I’ll deal with points you raise anyway.

I don’t know to what “day” you are referring that people held their employers accountable…? Are you suggesting that thousands of Microsoft Engineers, Designers and Admin should leave the company because one of their shareholders is named in the Epstein files? Sure, there have always been those brave enough to stand against the masses and criticize. There always will be, but they are the minority and it’s a lot less common than you think.

And if you think you are one of those, go ahead: Spur on the masses to greater change. But “ditching microsoft products” isn’t going to change anything unless everyone does it and good luck with that.

Major social change is required. If you want to focus your anger on anyone, focus it on the Pedo in Chief.
