Forget Melinda Gates. I was subjected to 2 minutes of her garbage NPR interview yesterday before I was able to skip it; it's fucking crazy that this woman is being allowed to do a goddamn press tour about this, like she's the main character. Oh, are you sad that Bill was a total piece of shit and you did nothing? Go be sad on your own time, on the miniscule chance you're somehow not a total psycho you can go find a therapist, I'm sure you can afford one. Stop hogging media time to wash your own bullshit image. I wonder how much she donated to get them to have her on.
Also, even ignoring the Epstein stuff, she stuck with Gates while he was doing a lot of really unethical things at Microsoft. She either liked him, or liked his billions enough to stick with him for a long time. She doesn't get a pass because she started spending the billions she got from him in the divorce for charity. Where did those billions come from? She was standing by his side as he raked them in by illegally using his monopoly to crush competitors to Microsoft and threaten Linux / Linux users with patent infringement, lawsuits, etc.
I'm sure she can wipe away her tears with some bars of gold
Literally, get a bar of gold, melt it down, press it into gold foil tissues, carve another gold bar into a tissue box, and wipe her tears. She could spend $100,000 on doing that every day for the next 800 years before running out of money.
Like if she had something genuine to add, that'd be something. You know, corroborate a victim's story, make a call to action, "he should be in prison," even "here's something I'm doing to help" would still be reputation laundering but it would be something. She literally just went on to say (probably lie) that she didn't know about it and it makes her so sad. Fucking billionaires, fuck.
