Last Tuesday, as the strongest Atlantic storm in 90 years slammed the western coast of Jamaica with 185-mph winds, Bill Gates was downplaying climate change.
The billionaire does not appear to have publicly addressed the disaster in Jamaica, which extended throughout the Caribbean, with Melissa having killed dozens across Cuba, Haiti, the Bahamas, and the Dominican Republic. And his overall point, frankly, does not hold up to scrutiny.
Gates isn’t alone; climate change has slipped down the world’s priority list in the past few years—and it shows. Governments and corporations are shelving emissions goals, budgets are being redirected from climate initiatives to warfare, the media is pivoting away from climate journalism, and even activists are urging a softer, more “hopeful” tone. It all signals a vibe shift in how we talk about climate change, reframing it from the existential risk it actually poses to a less urgent, peripheral issue—even as the floodwaters reach our front doors.
Why respectfully? Who has Bill Gates shown actual respect for?
Jeffrey Epstein?
ok good point
Yeah. Shut the fuck up, Bill.
Epstein, from who melinda seperated from when she found out. his "current entrepuenership, was nothing more than money laundering and reinventing his own image from his MS ceo/epstein days, he did not charity by accident/genuine. plus he was criticized for his “vaccine colonialism” during covid by african countries.
Gates does not need to “shut up”. He needs to testify as to what his relationship is with Epstein.
Quiet, you fool! Don’t antagonize him. You think all that Windows AI is out there for our benefit? Oh no, it’s there for Bill to press the button and blue screen the world. And don’t tell me Linux users are safe; that’s what the assassination squads are for.
Nah, not respectfully, bill Gates is a piece of shit who has spent millions in charities to pretend he’s a nice guy.
I too can pretend to be really nice by slamming millions around even though I have acted like a shit stain before.
i once tried to question him when he did an AMA like a decade ago, the mods/filters dint allow it though,specifically about him money laundering.
For a billionaire he is pretty nice. Which only makes him an absolute piece of shit.
By all means do so then, please. An asshole spending millions on charity helps way more people than a nice guy receiving government aid.
A guy receiving government aid has a MUCH smaller climate footprint than this asshole.
And a car has a smaller climate footprint than a ship transporting solar panels, or the factory producing them. What is your point?
Disrespectfully, Bill Gates needs to shut the fuck up
Respectfully, Bill Gates is complicit in genocide and should be investigated for his connections with Epstein.
Fact Check: List of claims about Bill Gates includes falsities
Not to defend the guy but there are enough real skeletons in his closet. We don’t need to spread misinformation.
Respectfuly, if you want to fact check someone atleast say what fact you are checking. Although perhaps I could have been more clear.
For the record, Bill Gates is complicit in the genocide in Gaza

And he has connections with Epstein who on top of the whole child rape side gig was very successful at laundering money to send to Israel.

For the record, Bill Gates is complicit in the genocide in Gaza
https://timschwab.substack.com/p/is-philanthropy-profiting-from-genocide https://www.mintpressnews.com/microsoft-israel-surveillance-azure-idf-gaza-genocide/290534/For both of these to support your argument, you must be saying that owning stock in a company that benefits from business or weapons that benefit Israel makes the stockholder “complicit in the genocide in Gaza”. If you’re saying that than probably about 60% of Americans would be “complicit in the genocide in Gaza” as they have stock including index total market funds or S&P 500 funds which have fractions of shares in many of those same companies.
That seems like an overly broad definition to me, but if that is your definition, then your claim is true.
https://www.commondreams.org/views/2021/11/11/bill-gates-should-know-better-how-israeli-occupation-ravages-environment-palestineThis one just talks about Gates being involved with Israel on climate change actions without any Gates involvement in Gaza. So have to assume your position is that being involved with Israel on issues affecting all of us globally is also an endorsement of genocide. That too, seems like an extreme position.
Please stop with all your critical thinking. /s
Is this logic that someone specifically investing vs having a retirement fund or similar is the same thing?

You’d have to ask @ CubitOom@infosec.pub. My guess is they would consider both “complicit in genocide in Gaza” with their broad definition.
Melinda shit canned his ass for good reasons.
deleted by creator
isnt thats why hes doing “charities” for africans, to reinvent his image because of that, the timing is more than a coincidence, although start way before epstein got on the news, but he probably knew he would be connected to him in the media sooner or later.
I think he and Melinda have been pouring money into charities since he left Microsoft. They have saved countless lives with malaria assistance alone.
Irrespectfully most tech moguls need to shut the fuck up, especially about shit that has nothing to do with tech
he was always known to be ruthless during his ceo days, his current image is trying to reinvent, and also to soften the blow of him being associated with epstein.
This does have to do with tech because the firm he founded is knee deep in the AI bullshit which is burning energy at an incredible rate.
Bill Gates is a monopolist whose shady business practices in the 90s and 2000s make him a very evil man.
All billionaires are inherently evil by their own nature. Unless they literally won the lottery with take home $1 billion.
To become a billionaire you have to do some dark Machiavellian deeds whether by exteeme exploitation of human labour or manipulation of the most unethical proportions. A billion in wealth is something quite unimaginable before the 20th century, and the means to obtain that level of wealth in history has always been dark and dirty.
This is libelous. His business practices were also shady in the '70s and '80s.
Fuck Bill. Let’s throw him in the volcano with the other elites
That’s wasteful. Pit them against each other in death matches.
We WILL have the Zuck vs Elon match after all
on top of a volcano. loser goes in. that would make Hephaestus happy
I LIKE THIS IDEA
Maybe there is hope for a world where being rich doesn’t mean you are assumed to be wise and all knowing and should be consulted on everything.
I mean… looking at people like Neil deGrasse Tyson, you don’t need to be super rich for people to give your intelligence too much credit.
He’s definitely a very smart man, in his field, but yeah that doesn’t translate to having the answers to everything or even having common sense sometimes.
he also, has a list of women accusing him of sexual misconduct, none of the incidence could be proven, but they were 4 separate women in very different locations. He’s charming on talk shows. No actual scientists get invited on talk shows.
I mean, Carl Sagan, but yeah not really much currently. I feel like due to streaming everything has been kind of put in it’s own little box, everyone can have their own show and no one needs to interact with people different than them.
Respectfully, Bill Gates Needs to Shut UpRespectfully, Bill Gates Needs to Shut the Fuck Up
High-school dropout nepo-baby Bill Gates? That one?
The guy that stole IBMs UI setup and made Windows?
Xerox’s
TBF, he dropped out of Harvard.
I remember when he did an AMA on Reddit and every comment about his Epstein connection was instantly buried.
i remember that to, i questioned about his charities being used a way to evade tax, of course the AMA sub would remove it. He want adulations about him giving “christmas gifts” on reddit, im guessing its one of the reasons he stopped going on reddit, like the finebros, they wanted adorations instead was driven off to facebook for being shills of YT. currently Sinese, gary has been on REDDIT frequently, he appeared right before the election, hmm suspicious, virtue signalling for vets. plus he gave a excuse to why he left acting(i wanna guess is that his time im HW wouldve come to end with him being outwardly republican now, if he became vitrolitic, as the other Rs actors, and not because of his SON).
But what about my good billionaire? :( /s
Don’t ask whether it’s distraction from Epstein list, ask whether everything bad is distraction from climate change and wealth inequality.
its mostly distraction from epstein, suddenly he started to “act out” when more attention was given to epstein files as of recently. it also make sense why hes doing charities, beside tax evasion/monely laundering, he using the goodwill image, to put himself in a positive light.
Maybe he should stop raping children, aiding genocide and supporting climate deniers instead of treating philanthropy like a pre-reformation nobleman buying indulgences to get into heaven?
