What’s wrong with Gates, though?

Well for one, he's a billionaire

I mean, yeah. That’s not great. But he’s not hellbent on election fraud, reinventing the concept of a train a million times over just to sell cars, not in some evil plot that I know of, just to name a few of the things most billionaires do. I’m sure there are bad sides to him, human after all, but he seems to do more good than bad in my perception with his foundation and seems to care about global health and well-being.

How long do you have?
