like they usually do.

But on dealing with the virus I think most would have just done what health experts recommended .

And Republicans would have went along since it wouldn't have been politicized .

Is an expert on any and all subjects. One area as an example is the support of so-called school choice.

He is a billionaire. His opinion on topics besides Microsoft is no better than anyone else. People on the right piss and moan about Hollywood celebrities giving opinions yet seem to accept crap from wealthy people just because they are wealthy.

When Bill Gates is willing to actually propose changes to the political economy that result in more equitable opportunity and distribution I will be willing to listen. I suggest “Winners Take All.”
