    After he acquired it all and spent decades doing illegal stuff for which Microsoft received extensive anti trust fines. Lets not kid ourselves here is trying to redeem himself for his prior billionaire behaviour and it often comes off more as “greenwashing” than actually helping people.

      Right, fuck people for trying to do good if they’ve ever done bad things in their past.

        They can atone, but it doesn’t make the effects of their past mistakes go away.

        There’s also the massive tax breaks rich folks receive for donations.

    Nah man, that wealth is stolen from tax payers.

    I hear you, and I do like that billionaires like bill gates and buffet have pledged to donate or what not…

    But my point still stands… they had no core values when they accumulated the wealth. Now gates is retired and bored and controls more wealth than a small country.

      And customers, and (probably most of all) employees.

    Bill Gates deserves the guillotine exactly as much as the rest of them.

    bill Gates has done a ton of really supposedly good things, trying to ameliorate his lifelong ruthless profiteering, with his wealth stolen money

    • entwine413@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Right, supposedly good things like making all research they perform freely available, providing billions in grants for healthcare and agricultural development, providing billions in funding to organizations like the WHO, etc.

        Yeah, he used just a fraction of all he stole to do all that. He’s still a morally bankrupt man IMO.

  That’s not true at all. Notch valued having a candy wall, and he made good on it.
