Space travel is no big deal to the lizard people.
“We have a lot to do here on earth.” Bill Gates. Like hang out on Orgy Island with Jeffery Epstein and Bill Clinton.
Fuck Bill Gates.
"...and when I say 'classiest' I mean of course 'most banal.'"
ummm, isn't THE REAL REASON why bill hasn't got on a spaceship;
that there's no little kids on the spaceship?
He knows how to burn money, except for the time he bought that OS from that other guy. Gates is probably the worst investor of the big B billionaires. Though he claims his vaccinations money paid off in 'economic benefit' his math is of the Biden '3.5 trillion of spending will cost zero dollars' type. Most of his 'solving the world's problems' investments squander cash with very little to show for it.
Should have ask Gates what he thinks of our government working with the CCP to create new and improved diseases.
I’ve long admired Bill Gates. He does good with his money
But this response struck me as rather self-righteous.

People on the pedophile island manifest necessarily need to keep their burns classy.
Also, do people understand what motivates Bezos? It's a dream of moving manufacturering into space to fight pollution. Maybe it's kooky but what's wrong with someone looking to fight climate change whose solution isn't that no one gets to own a car and you get one slice of bologna a month? What's wrong with the belief that we deserve a robust economy with awesome consumer goods and a clean environment? We used to dream big.
He's also obsessed with young girls on private islands. Such a pure human.
Truth is, opening up space will do more in the long run for humanity, and Gates' total contributions to solve malaria are two and a half billion or so.
Gates is telling us that Microsoft should entirely stop making software, and just solve malaria (or whatever.) Gates is an old(ish) man who has retired from productive labor, and is now depleting a fraction of his wealth on social causes. Musk and Bezos have space COMPANIES that they are running. SoaceX has a valuation of 74 billion, I hear. Like Gates' efforts, they are done in parallel with government controlled entities (big pharma, universities, NASA, etc) and are much more efficient, effective, and useful than the government. The argument for why NASA exists at all are the argument for SpaceX and Blue Origin.
You'd almost think it was a deliberate media strategy...
Over the course of a decade, replace wealth disparity as the front burner issue on the left with climate, race and virtue signaling.
And relegate income inequality to a debate about tax "reform" where, sub rosa, the most productive and newly upwardly mobile are likely to be punished, while the super wealthy are likely to continue to escape the brunt.
Who watches this garbage?
Too busy on Epsteins Island.
Maybe it's a classy burn, but it sounds like a lot of self righteousness to me...
This makes sense as a "burn" only if you believe there is no value to expanding space exploration and using space resources. If you think Musk and Bezos are doing nothing more than joy riding in space you're probably inclined to agree with Gates. Otherwise it's just billionaires disagreeing about how to spend their money, either working to solve some more immediate problems or taking a longer view. None of those guys earned their billions without keeping an eye on the future.
How odd that Mr. Gates did not mention his efforts to reform the US education system.
Musk is doing more to improve the fate of humanity than Gates can even dream of.
Bill Gates is buying up farmland; including lots in Nebraska.
Why would he do that? I know for a fact that farmland is a poor performing asset; yielding - at best - 5% to the owner and more like 3%. I'm sure old Bill has the Wizards of Smart modeling everything for him and predicting much higher land prices but also higher food prices. Hence, better yields.
Software and tech have always been much better investments. Something's up and I think it is big inflation in real assets.
People complaining about what other people do with their money as usual.
There's no reason that both things can't be done....advancing space technology and searching for medical breakthroughs. This smug dismissal of space exploration has been going on since the 60s, despite the resulting advancements in virtually every scientific and technical field.
There’s no escape from Gates’ ministrations except perhaps in space.
Yes Bill Gates has done a wonderful job with infectious diseases. It is my understanding he completely eradicated STDs from Jeffrey Epstein's pedophile Island.
I thought late night TV was for comedy. What happened?
“Bill Gates is buying up farmland; including lots in Nebraska. Why would he do that“
From an investment standpoint there are good reasons for a Bill to invest in farmland- as an asset it’s negatively correlated to other asset classes and a good hedge against inflation…and the farmer knows you never want to give up ground. Unfortunately sometimes the government makes that impossible…
Historically Bill’s been a lousy investor but he dies know his pet projects won’t pay for themselves…
Burn? You could probably treat that with a dab of aloe vera.
Not sure why there is such a huff about Gates and little girls. As clearly stated by some on this blog, there is no good.
"Does a behavior help me and my family survive and reproduce?" Evolution does not require a universal moral polarity.
I think impregnating nubile young girls with the genes of a high producing individual is a positive evolutionary event.
Humans are self-interested. When "doing good" is rewarded, we will do it and more of it. If it isn't rewarded in some manner, then we won't.
Maybe Gates' donations to various causes is what gets him an invite to the island. Albeit indirectly. He supports Democratic causes which gets him in with the right crowd which included the Island hoppers.
I find James Corden just too brown-nosey to enjoy.
That was a classy burn.
Bill Gates, Jimmy Savile..at this point what difference does it make?
Fuck Bill Gates.
He's been on a real charm offensive since the divorce.
I don't really understand why. He's got enough fuck-it-got-mine money, and he's 65.
So far - his billions have accomplished what? Perhaps he should clean up his own back yard.

"Fake it till you make it" works better on office computers and HIV cures than rocket ships. Stick to what you know (or can sell).

I expect you are aware that The income tax was first round of this strategy.
and made efficient {inescapable/unavoidable} by Milton Friedman suggestion for pay=period withholding etc..
Musk and Bezos got to space before Bill eradicated malaria.
Compare and contrast: Musk and Bezos run competing companies to achieve ambitious goals; Bill addresses problems by throwing money at philanthropy.
For the reasons stated above, Bill Gates can fuck right off.
D.D. Driver: "People on the pedophile island manifest necessarily need to keep their burns classy.
Also, do people understand what motivates Bezos? It's a dream of moving manufacturering into space to fight pollution."
Blue Origins (and the entire National Team for that matter) designs/concepts/plans represent a completely insufficient mass-to-orbit concept that cannot deliver on that "dream".
Only Spacex is developing a robust cost-effective heavy lift vision and is demonstrating the rapid development processes necessary for such an effort and something tells me Bezos isn't going to be willing to utilize that lift capability in the future.
Dave Begley: "Software and tech have always been much better investments. Something's up and I think it is big inflation in real assets."
This.
Hyper-inflation is likely coming.
Meanwhile, Gates bought his San Diego beachfront home similar to obama on the East Coast so you can bank on the "elites" knowing full well that AGW isn't happening.....something we've always known since the original switcheroo from Global Cooling to AGW in the 70's to Climate Change in the 90's.
According to a quick internet search Bill Gates owns a $147 million dollar 50,000 square feet house with a 30 car garage. Couldn't that money be put to better use? Space travel has been derided by short cited individuals since the inception of NASA. And for the same reason. That money could be used here, on Earth, for some other purpose that I would like to prioritize. Well I have one question for Mr. Gates. How are you going to track everyone's whereabouts without GPS satellites?
47,000 children in India left crippled from the polio vaccine pushed by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation tells me he has the same attitude towards testing cures before large-scale release that he had towards testing his software before it was released to the public.
That was a burn?
I sense hostility.
I wouldn't read too much into Gates buying farmland. I'll defer to Mr. Begley on the economics of Nebraska farmland but will add this to my previous private wealth theories re: Gates- It may look like he is trying to buy the entire state of Nebraska but keep in mind Gates family net worth is roughly in the $100-125 Billion range and farmland in Nebraska goes for what- $1k to 7K an acre? BIll needs to buy a lot of hectares to make a tiny pie piece in his asset class distribution....
Bill got awfully defensive when he gave his answer. Notice he goes from an open posture to a closed, crossed-arm posture. Maybe he thinks his anti-malaria programs are nothing but crap, but can't admit it. Perhaps he really wants in on the Bezos/Musk space flights, but can't admit that.

The masses are restless.
They see amoral child rapists like Bill Gates try to impose rules and restrictions on everyone else they refuse to follow.
Bill Gates pretends he is trying to help when it is clearly just a series of vanity projects and virtue signalling * $billions.
People can look at actions and over time they reveal motivations.
The Climate Change Church is running out of time. Bill Gates flies on private jets and has hundreds's of thousands of square feet of housing.
He does not think CO2 emissions are leading to human extinction. No intelligent person would.
50 years of daily burns like that and one might expect a slight increase in the chances of developing skin cancer. Statistically speaking.

Ya don’t say.
Corden is the world's biggest sycophant. This was no "burn" but he can't help flattering his guests.
Corden's two favorite phrases are "More with these two when we come back," and "Tell us about your marvelous new movie." If the movies are that marvelous, how come he can't be bothered to remember the celebrities' names? But he has that British accent so he gets away with it and his ingratiating seems charming rather than grating.
Gates looks more and more like a Rockefeller every day, right down to his glasses frames. But the voice definitely isn't there.
Bill Gates: We have a lot to do here on Earth.
Also Bill Gates: Signed off on Microsoft Bob, Clippy, and Windows Me.
I wasn't sure what to expect when I pressed play. I've never seen Cordon on his chat show before, but wow, did that whole thing feel fake and scripted.
What evidence do we have that James Corden has any idea what is "classy"?
I don't watch his show, and maybe I have the wrong impression, but the only times I notice him are when people are talking about what a jerk he is.
Oh, so Bill's pretending he chooses not to go to space, not that he can't.
Buying farmland is a classic money laundering move from the very rich. Say you buy some land for a billion dollars. Now have a billion dollar asset for collateral to use for a loan. That collateral can deliver very favorable terms because of its value, say 1%. Your borrowing at well under inflation while maintaining your wealth.
Bill Gates was a year ahead of me at View Ridge elementary in Seattle. The Lakeside school only takes 5th grade, and beyond.
He was assigned to re-shelve books in the school library because he kept getting his ass kicked during recess.
......and looking at the video clip. Does anyone really wonder why?
The usual ridiculous stuff from people who don't understand space. Who don't use GPS, don't use cell phones, don't listen to weather reports. Or who do, but assume that what has already been done using space is all there is, because they lack imagination.
A lot of the "problems on earth" would go away if we could outsource them to space.
