    BUT WAIT THERE'S EVEN MORE!

    About that money on the table, that's for building a platform. A vaccine is no platform. That's why he (Bill Gates) took it.

    It shows how calculating he is. It also shows how few compassion is needed to build a platform.

    To add another hustle platitude: imagine what a person with compassion could build.

    Imagine indeed. ussr-cry

      The idea that Bill Gates left money on the table for others with Microsoft isn't just wrong, it's so exactly the opposite of reality that it boggles the mind. Did he leave money on the table for other DOSes with windows 95? For other office suites with MSOffice? For Netscape with bundled IE?

      I'm boggled over here.

        The same bootlicker also claimed that the same lord and savior billionaire making sure covid vaccines remained profitably unavailable was not a contradiction of that same "sharing profit" virtue, because... well no explanation was given, just that it wasn't a contradiction. morshupls

          Normal people: mad about COVID vaccine patents

          Me: mad about the anticompetitive effects of Windows 95 on other versions of DOS and also COVID vaccine patents

        I didn't excuse the vaccine lobbying. You are stuck in your first judgment. If you want to nag me then it works because BG is no hero of mine.

        You are right about me caring about profits though. Logistics is everything. How do you want to create something without a positive resource balance?

        Still wondering, what's the entire point of OP's text? I guess you focus on the evil domination of evil corporations. How do you want to resolve it if not with small initiatives?
