    Sure. Microsoft was a scumbag company in the 90s with some pretty aggressive corporate practices, and gates was the beneficiary of that.

    I also agree that billionaires just generally shouldn’t exist.

    That said, I guarantee that 99% of commenters in this thread have pension funds holding investments in infinitely worse scumbag companies.

    Also, Gates more or less just stopped. He still has a 1% holding in Microsoft or something, but he’s not grinding away burning baby dolphin oil for personal gain.

    There’s plenty of hatred for terrible corporate practices to go around, but I don’t understand why Gates is targeted more than anyone else.
