    Only people of a certain age who grew up after Bill left MS ever thought he was a good guy. Prior to that he was fairly universally hated. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has done good things but that’s kind of like outsourcing your human decency because you can’t figure it out yourself.

      Those people who thought that only did so because they did no research whatsoever and into his “charity” work. When you look closer at The Gates Foundation you start finding a lot of troublesome shit. I wouldn’t even classify it as a charity, it’s just a way to spread money around to their rich friends.
