    Bill Gates has grown to epitomize what might be considered the “Good Billionaire”: an awkward geek who showed how capitalism’s winnings can be used to make the world a better place. That reputation is probably irreversibly damaged, says @teddyschleifer. https://trib.al/LYHhOri

        Or, at least, a fairly taxed one. Or, taxed at all!

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        The equivalent of mere pocket change or a few drinks down the bar being able to buy politicians (singly or by batch), policies and sometimes entire parties would be, I thought, a rather compelling argument against amassing a worth of $100 million, let alone a billion.

        If you can keep a billion getting only a dime for every dollar over ten million, great.

        As an educator, I don't think his ideas on how to improve education are very good. People who know more about climate change than I do, like Penn State's Michael Mann, don't think his ideas on climate change are very good. And he made his fortune producing crap software.

        The only good billionaire is a middle class or working class person who used to be a billionaire.
