With inflation at 40-year highs, the Biden Democrats want to push through another behemoth spending bill. This one is supposedly related to climate change.
Senator Joe Manchin from West Virginia said this week that he would vote for another massive Biden spending bill. This comes with 40-year high inflation crushing families across the U.S.
According to Yahoo, Bill Gates, Larry Sommers and others were responsible for changing Manchin’s mind about voting for the bill.
Bill Gates was among those who lobbied U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin—a frequent key Democratic holdout—to support an economic package focusing on climate and health care, after more than a year of negotiations.
The push for the conservative Democrat to support what is now the Inflation Reduction Act—but was, until recently, the Build Back Better Act—included more than 20 leaders of clean energy manufacturing companies with plans to put down roots in Manchin’s West Virginia. They included Bill Gates, who owns a venture capital firm that has backed a battery start-up there, Politico reports.
Also among those who pitched in on lobbying efforts: former U.S. Treasury Secretary and Director of the National Economic Council Larry Summers.
“It was across the board,” Collin O’Mara, CEO of the National Wildlife Federation, told the political news outlet of the effort to obtain contrarian Manchin’s support. O’Mara reportedly played a key role in persuading Manchin to resume talks. Gates, the billionaire founder of Microsoft has a checkered past. He was very outspoken about the China Coronavirus and related vaccines even though he’s not a virologist. He also was reported with Jeffrey Epstein multiple times yet he didn’t seem to be too concerned with Epstein’s death.
Larry Summers was also reportedly related to Jeffrey Epstein.
“They may have reminded Manchin that he has grandchildren”.
You’re right.
Is Gates one of those who thinks the planet is vastly overpopulated?
That rabid f’ing nerd Gates has far too much influence. Be great to see him thrown in a locker with his mouth duck taped.
“...Gates, the billionaire founder of Microsoft has a checkered past”.
Including Crimes Against Humanity.
Those guys should be compelled to publicly disclose what percentage of their net worth is invested in long term U.S. Treasury bonds, which are currently paying about 3%, which is less than half the current inflation rate.
I will guess that close to ZERO percent of their net worth is invested in USA long bonds.
They support massive USA government debts, but they do not purchase it for their own accounts.
Also Gates is buying up a lot of farmland. Why?
My Microsoft PC turned itself off twice today after overheating from updating.
Many news media webpages (CNN, local papers) will cause my PC to overheat and shut down.
I believe the majority of the power my PC uses is for Microsoft updates.
All Dimocrats would stab their own mothers in the back to get what they want. Never trust any of them.

“included more than 20 leaders of clean energy manufacturing companies with plans to put down roots in Manchin’s West Virginia”
Joe “Octopus” Manchin can be bought.
There are few principled Republicans, but no principled Democrats.
This boondoggle signals the end of Joe Manchins career.
He bit the bullet on this one, but he likely has a very well padded , numbered, Swiss Bank Account.
Well, his daughter got money. I ghink she works for one of the big drug companies associated with Pfizer(?). I’ve forgotten the details but they were waiting until there was some kind of company spin off which just happened.
