Rich American philanthropist are like Robin Hood, they take from the rich (Americans) and give to the poor (other than Americans) and keep a little for themselves .

I agree XP was OK, but they took a step backwards with Vista.

I think they have it backwards : powerful people open doors to them because they want their patronage or attention. If those people didn’t want something or have narcissistic tendencies that cause them to have fame crushes they would not give them the time of day.

Exactly. The poor in America live a high standard of living compared to poor in other countries. So when a globalist says take from the rich to give to the poor, they don't are not referring to "American poor". If they can't take more from us they continue to support flooding our borders to allow poor people to come here.

Yep by taking from the "rich" the globalist don't mean themselves. They mean every "white privileged" American average Joe even if he lives in a shack or under a bridge . And by poor they don't mean American poor unless it's occasionally some American without "white privilege". And flooding our borders is their other ace up their sleeve to take more from us Americans.

SOOOO??? Good god, man. They give money to foundations to at least TRY to improve schools. This is a bad thing? The claim was made that they "bought off" foundations. I asked what that meant, and this is what you come back with?

It's not Linda and Bill's fault the foundation failed. They vet the institutions they fund and had reason to believe the foundation would do good work. Now I don't know you and I don't know the veracity of your claims that the programs didn't work out. However, that's irrelevant to this discussion. And I might remind you that when a program fails, you get experience from it to make wiser decisions in the future. Mistakes is how you learn. Better to try and fail then to never have tried at all.

Sheesh!

Windows XP was my favorite. I didn't like Windows 7 as much. Windows 98 was alright for the time period.


Windows 10 however is crap so Windows has been great until then excluding Vista because I can't comment on that since I never used it.

If they feel guilty for being so rich they can give it all away. Not a difficult problem to solve if being poor would make them happier.
