    Default Bill Gates and his wife

    They've just donated a lot of money to Covid 19 research, nice. So now all our area news stations have been giving them a lot of air time to express their opinions and "knowledge". They are about the last people who would have influence on my opinion.

    When you give the amount of money they do I guess they are entitled to their say. We don't have to listen to them if we don't want to. I think if all the Hollywood crowd, sports figures, 95% of the politicians, and other so called heroes that were worshiped a month ago would disappear tomorrow my life would pretty much be the same for the next month or so. If the truck drivers, medical folks, grocery workers, and first responders disappeared tomorrow we would be in a world of hurt.

    Bill and Melinda have been generous in helping financially. I don't necessarily agree with their message but I do appreciate them doing what they have the ability to do..... Jim

    That's the least they can do considering the shenanigans Bill used to make Dos and Windows the dominant PC operating system.

    Hey folks. Since Bill G is not here to defend himself...maybe we could not do the posts about all the bad things....

    He donated money: Good

    Other stuff...maybe not so good.

    On the edge...but so far...no rules broken. IMO.
