I think there are, but maybe not in the traditional sense. Without trying to trigger the crazies, Bill Gates has donated $50 billion dollars to charity over the years and Jeff Bezos’ ex wife Mackenzie Scott has donated a fair chunk also.

Yeah and you're doing exactly what they want, praise them because they made a small difference in comparison to how much evil they produce.

That's actually a good point. Lexcorp has a great public image.

I guess this all image thing could be pretty bad at the end.

We will do what they want because they are using so much extra efforts to make us do it.

"Small difference." Bill gates has saved an estimated 50 million lives, and revolutionized the computer industry. If you don't believe me, search it up. Say what you want about him, but to say he hasn't had an big impact is just wrong. Second of all, Bill gates has definitely done some evil stuff, but its not like he produces evil. Producing evil would mean you would have to do some really harm the world. The worst he's done to the world is create a monopoly I guess?

Saved 50 million and ruined over a billion. Stop being one of their sheep and look at the entire picture. You know that farming cost what it does cause that asshat owns most of the farm land in the US.

Ruined over a billion? Source? Second of all, I don't know what you are talking about. What does farming cause? He doesn't even own the majority of the farmland in the US. He doesn't even own 1/15000 of the world's farmland. Third of all, why am I sheep lol?

Now give me the count of the money he fucked, give it.

Probably a lot. But are you seriously going to ignore the 50 million lives, or how he revolutionized computers. You can hate him all you want and I can't argue with you, but to say he hasn't had a positive impact is insane

There are, there is no deny on that, but the numbers are less.
