Leaving one at school and one at home so he wouldn&#8217;t have to carry them.  The thought was to deceive people into thinking he was so smart.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>BASIC was his bread and butter in the beginning.  Thanks to the future employment of people they came up with the overwhelming Office, SQL, etc. products.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Paul Allen was tough on him.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How he walked at night to think about the world and his future.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How he worked at the computer countless hours to produce software.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How he deceived the schools into giving him free computer time share.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Was always an outsider when it came to women.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>He wanted a black person on a school event so he can tell everyone about diversity. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The list goes on and on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Items not discussed but millions wanted to know:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Epstein Island<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The purchase of the ABC movie that made him and Microsoft look terrible.  He buried the movie.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Speaks about Climate Change but had African nations cut down trees to open up farm land. Gates had a heated drive way built so he didn&#8217;t have to worry about snow removal.  The discussion about dumping chemicals into the clouds to reduce climate change.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Open ended marriage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Countless women he has sex with while married and hanging out with Epstein.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How he dumped Microsoft Access with low prices to destroy Foxpro, Paradox, dbase, etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gates relationship with Steve Jobs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What type of investment did he have with the COVID vaccine and WHO.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>His divorce.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Corporate ruthless behavior.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Final thoughts<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bill Gates is repairing his life at the moment by stepping out with rebuilding an image that he destroyed due to his sexual issues for the past 30 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Save your money and time.
