Bill Gates says meeting Jeffrey Epstein was a ‘mistake'

[NYP] Bill Gates said Wednesday that he "made a mistake" when he decided to meet with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein while seeking money for his global health campaign.

Gates made the mea culpa while speaking to The New York Times Dealbook Conference ‐ saying that by sitting down with Epstein he helped legitimize the convicted sexual predator.

"I made a mistake in judgment that I thought that those discussions would lead, literally, to billions of dollars going to global health. It turned out that was a bad judgment," said 64-year-old Gates.

"And I gave him some benefit by the association. So I made a doubly wrong mistake there," he added.

Epstein died in federal lock up in lower Manhattan on August 10 after he was busted by the FBI for sex trafficking.

Theories that Epstein was murdered have swirled since his death, with his brother, Mark Epstein, saying Wednesday that "my brother might have been murdered."

#1 Gates' personal worth is many times what Epstein's was. Like a lot of smart people, Gates' mistake is thinking the rest of us are dumb enough to believe him.

#4 Did anyone at the Shitshow Times conference ask this Grifter about the botchjob called Common Core Math that he imposed on the nation's schools-- such as why he ever thought he should even be involved in education, let alone why he feels himself entitled to steamroll the nation's parents, schools and teachers with this foolish, cockamamie approach?

#6 Must have been the only time in his life Epstein gave any thought to...."global health."

#7 Was it a 'mistake' to destroy Gary Kildall and Digital Research, Inc. back in the late 1980's, Bill?

If you have any experience with the GUIs that were tried on CP/M, the answer is "no."

#10 Kildall shot himself in the ~~foot~~ (insert appropriate anatomical reference here).
When IBM set up a meeting with him to discuss licensing CP/M for their new computer called the PC, he blew them off and went hang gliding. And that, campers, is how we ended up with MS-DOS.

#12 The Kildall incident (along with IBM's obtuseness re the value of software) just underscores how much of our oligarchs' wealth can be attributed to blind luck.
