        The question was about whether a billionaire had done anything good.

          Agreed - he is somewhere between a shitty husband or a monster, but he definitely has helped rid the world of some bad diseases, and his charities continue to do quite a bit of good around the world.

            In the old days, you could just pay the church for absolution; now, you have to rid the world of diseases. SMH

              Inflation is everywhere nowadays. In my day you could get absolution for a nickel.

        That article is much ado about nothing. He knew Epstein and met him occasionally. So did every other billionaire and politician. Unlike some other of Epstein’s associates, there’s nothing to suggest Gates indulged or was even aware of Epstein’s excesses.
