Hmmmm........wonder how much Gates paid a lawyer to come up with that stupid excuse?
Change ‘Bill Gates’ to ‘Donald Trump’ and you sound like a leftist.
I am no big fan of Bill Gates’ politics but unless proven elsewise, I would believe that Gates was interested in meeting other billionaires, to try and get them to donate to some of his charities. If there is other evidence beyond ‘guilt by association’, that could change my mind.
People who get to the level of wealth and power, often will spend more and more time on their philanthropic endeavours. Are you familiar with the ‘Carnegie’ library that likely exists in your city. (I’ve lived in Ottawa, Calgary and Edmonton, among other cities. All three have libraries that were funded by Andrew Carnegie’s philanthropy. Doubtless there are hundreds in the US.) Carnegie made his wealth in steel production.
