The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

"Bill Gates met with Epstein multiple times AFTER he was a convicted pedo.

1. Again, lots of people did.
2. Again he wasn't convicted. It was a plea bargain that made it sound much better than it was. The fact that you keep saying he was a convicted pedo shows you don't grasp the situation and are letting others take advantage of your ignorance. Please do better.

"At his level, his security staff would have clearly known his background and debriefed Bill on the situation."

I don't think you understand how it works. Just how many people do you think Buffett has on staff for such a case? Why do you think Gates is any different? Especially since Gates was running a foundation. Besides, since it was plea bargained (which you continue to willfully ignore) at the time it wasn't crystal clear he was as toxic as hindsight has shown.

"Why did Gates abruptly resign MSFT BRK boards and Melinda divorce him?"

Because he was caught cheating on Melinda (did you even read my previous post???). Spouses sometimes have a tendency to sometimes get divorced when one of them cheats.

Why not invert it. If Melinda knew he was a pedo, why does she continue to work with him on the Foundation?

"This story is not going away."

Of course not, there are always fools looking to have their ignorance taken advantage of. There is a whole web of crazy network of right wing "media" sites dedicated to doing so. Luckily most people require evidence.

Until they show you actual evidence, why continue to play the fool and let them take advantage of you like this?
