Bill Gates warns of next pandemic

[volpri]

My question to you is have you in the past, or present, used and or continue to use a motor vehicle which causes environmental polution which is a health hazard to babies?

Yes I do. I also try to take a crap at least once a day which is quite a pollution scare in the Motorhome at the present ..at least my wife thinks it pollutes the air LOL.

As far as I know microsoft doesn’t pollute the environment so it is not a hazard to babies in that sense anyway.

I use both windows and apple. My preference is windows. I entered the computer world when it was MSDOS and windows was just coming out. I debated for a long time on what my first computer should be a windows 80286 which was just coming out or an apple. I went with windows 80286 processor IBM compatible because apple was such a closed system and not many programs back in the day.

Apart from using windows and apples operating system I also drive cars...truck...motorcycle...and a class A diesel motorhome. I am fine with oil for energy...fracking to get oil....and flying on jets that use oil products. I notice sometime back you posted a bicycle on a beach. I believe it had rubber tires? That would be synthetic rubber produced from petroleum. So I assume you may be oil happy too?

Yes. Back in the day, when a consumer ordered a PC from Gateway or Dell or where-ever, you did not have the option of getting it with OS/2 WARP or Linux. You could not ask them to put on Netscape Navigator.

You were forced to pay for the MS licensing fee, baked into the computer price.

What really is YOUR point? I watched the monopoly hearings live on the television, and the man sounded like a politician, answering questions by not answering. That is weasel behavior.

They were trying to trap him. He was thinking man...thinking...before he opened his mouth. They were trying to put words in his mouth. He wasn’t weaseling in my opinion but circumventing the traps and land minds so to speak. Maybe they were weaseling?

They asked him a very simple question. It was a yes or no question...

Paraphrasing best I can recall..."Did you in any way force PC companies to prevent the installation of Netscape?"

They asked him this question over 10 times in a row, and every answer he gave was Jabberwocky BS. He never did answer the question directly, and they eventually dropped it in exasperation. A master weasel he was then.

So he helped malaria-infected people? He should have used all those billions to eradicate the mosquito from this planet, not band-aid one of the many diseases they carry.

I like this....In 2006, Buffett pledged most of his fortune to the Gates Foundation and to four charitable trusts created by his family. His gift to the Gates Foundation of 10 million shares of Berkshire Hathaway stock, to be paid in annual installments, was worth approximately $31 billion in June 2006.

Gates always after da money.

Well you weaseled out of my question. Still have not answered it.

You don’t wanna upset the insect rights people now do you?

I didn't weasel out of your question. I answered your question with a statement.

"They asked him a very simple question. It was a yes or no question..."

The committee did not weasel. They asked a very simple question over and over and over again. It was Gates who weaseled out of answering.

Life, events, actions are not always as clear as yes or no. Nor is trading. There is always a gray fog...should of...could of...would of..maybe...not sure....in that gray fog many narratives can be created.

A simple yes or no will suffice in your case of having used, or continue to use, a windows product. There is no investigation here just a curious question. Is it possible we can already guess the probabilities that you do or don’t use a windows product?

Many things in life are forced. Apple forces you to have a password to install APPs. Banks force you to have a password to check your online accounts. Of course they cry “for your own protection”. Looks like they may force you to get a vaccine passport to fly. The law enforces you to drive the speed limit. Windows forces you to have a min equipment level to run windows. For years windows would not run on apple. Apple would not run on windows. Is that illegal. Disenfranchising others? Do I have a right to demand Apple create an OS that will happily run my windows as good as it runs their OS OR is that their option to do so? Or can apple say “screw you, develop your own OS. Don’t buy ours if you don’t like it.”

Vaccine Passport and hence Vaccines all up to date and still a negative DIY test within 72hours to just enter shops or pub's or anything really, is what's coming in here.
