>While I respect anyone’s decision to spend their days playing pickleball, that life isn’t quite for me—at least not full time. I’m lucky to wake up every day energized to go to work

Bit of an unfair comparison though.. Most people dont retire from a job where you're literally handing people money.

That said, I'm a huge fan Bill's work post-microsoft :)




He did a good job at cleaning up his public image, no doubt that cost quite a fortune.

Still the same greedy asshole though.


I don't think at all he is a greedy asshole. He did more good than anywone else on the planet at this point.

Alone his money and the pledge he pused is breathaking.

Why would you say he is a greedy asshole while he spends all his money to help humans?

Trump is greedy. Musk thinks probably he is good but is greedy as f and wants to go to mars because he thinks earth cant be saved anymore. But Gates?


I don't need you to repeat the propaganda, I know what the official narrative is. And it's mostly lies, especially the part about Gates suddenly turning from asshole to saint.


Interesting. I would not have thought, that on hn a normal discussion with arguments and sources is not possible. But hey you seem to pref to comment for the comment sake not for discussion.


'propaganda'?

First of, i do know his history very well, i'm quite aware that he was not a saint before but that doesn't change the fact what he is currently doing and it is very good.

Do you have anything real? Like real talking points? Real sources? aything besides just shitting at him?
