Respectfully, Bill Gates needs to shut up (www.motherjones.com)

Last Tuesday, as the strongest Atlantic storm in 90 years slammed the western coast of Jamaica with 185-mph winds, Bill Gates was downplaying climate change.

The billionaire does not appear to have publicly addressed the disaster in Jamaica, which extended throughout the Caribbean, with Melissa having killed dozens across Cuba, Haiti, the Bahamas, and the Dominican Republic. And his overall point, frankly, does not hold up to scrutiny.

Gates isn’t alone; climate change has slipped down the world’s priority list in the past few years—and it shows. Governments and corporations are shelving emissions goals, budgets are being redirected from climate initiatives to warfare, the media is pivoting away from climate journalism, and even activists are urging a softer, more “hopeful” tone. It all signals a vibe shift in how we talk about climate change, reframing it from the existential risk it actually poses to a less urgent, peripheral issue—even as the floodwaters reach our front doors.

I remember when he did an AMA on Reddit and every comment about his Epstein connection was instantly buried.

i remember that to, i questioned about his charities being used a way to evade tax, of course the AMA sub would remove it. He want adulations about him giving "christmas gifts" on reddit, im guessing its one of the reasons he stopped going on reddit, like the finebros, they wanted adorations instead was driven off to facebook for being shills of YT. currently Sinese, gary has been on REDDIT frequently, he appeared right before the election, hmm suspicious, virtue signalling for vets. plus he gave a excuse to why he left acting(i wanna guess is that his time im HW wouldve come to end with him being outwardly republican now, if he became vitrolitic, as the other Rs actors, and not because of his SON).
