    I love how transparent the billionaire media is now. everything I’ve heard about this guy is a character assassination or speculative at best.

    they even mobbed the highschool he graduated from…EIGHT YEARS AGO. All to get some clips they can piece together to fit the narrative that he’s “a bad crazy man with a gun”.

    this shooting has certainly scared the fucking shit out of the aristocracy though. you can tell how scared they are by how hard the media is pushing the story of his capture.

    He also had a three-page handwritten manifesto that included grievances with the US healthcare system, a document that spoke to the suspect’s “motivation and mindset”, officials said.

    Publish it then.

        Yeah I can’t help but feel from everything I read he’s a bit of a STEMcel, but hating health insurance companies is one thing that unites almost all Americans.

          The people shooting Trump would maybe have a 10% approval rating if they succeeded. This healthcare CEO got the whole working class celebrating his deposal. It is truly impressive.

      Reported by a worker at McD. Wtf, they’re the group that would benefit the most from a change in the healthcare system. Idiot.

      Or, and hear me out here, we can view this with a little sympathy: there’s $60k in rewards for anyone who turned this guy in, and the person who did it makes peanuts at McDonalds.

      Now, I don’t know if I would do it, but I can completely and utterly sympathize why someone who makes poverty wages would turn class traitor for what almost certainly life-changing money.

        And here’s your 12 jury members…

        Oh, it’s Mark Cuban, Mark Zuckerburg, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Rupert Murdoch,

        …I could keep this joke going if I used google, but is it sad that I could name 6 people by memory just by using the parameters “Rich asshole who would have no empathy for the general public, and would absolutely convict”?

              I am not going to watch 70 minutes movie, but according to brief skimming through the discussion it’s about business practice of the Microsoft from times of windows 3.11

              I am talking about his today’s undeniable philantropic work and the fact is he is really far from the rest of the people on your list.

              People are allowed to evolve and if every billionaire in the world would evolve I’m the same direction he did, world would be better place.

                It’s a podcast and you can listen while doing other things. 70 minutes isn’t very long.

                You can deny his recent philanthropic work because his libertarian mentality corrupts it. He helped fund covid 19 vaccine research, but also demanded that the patents not be released, so profit could be made. This is in direct contrast to the lead scientist of the poli vaccine opening it up for anyone to make, comparing the ownership of a vaccine to trying to own sunlight.

                While there’s evidence that Gates did not participate in Epstein’s parties, he did know about and choose to stay silent.

                Gates is a full blown elite larping as a humanitarian when the role of his foundation should be occupied by a tax funded gov org.
