    1. @RazenganOct 2019· in “A Relationship with Jeffrey Epstein That Bill Gates Now ‘Regrets’”

      He used to be reviled enough during the 1990s to receive literal pies in the face. [0] He has done some good of course, but some people tend to see anyone "giving away money" == faultless saint. [0] this video

    3. @coroboOct 2023· in “Bill Gates Memorized Employees' License Plates to Track Them”

      About a year after being pied in the face he launched the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Maybe we should bring back pieing, haha this video
