I can’t believe he doesn’t have a driver. Stupid. Anyone with that kind of money should have a driver and plenty of protection 24/7 out in public. Just sad that Gates would be so careless with the old man.
This has more to do with being a NW man. In the NE they have drivers. In the NW the women and men are generally very independent with or without power and money. Mr. Gates need no protection. The NW is not like that. The only protection that is needed there is from the socialist idiots, but those guys are often so ignorant and naive they do not even recognize the powerful and wealthy. The powerful and wealthy just sort of integrate into society in Seattle. You can often see ‘em eating burgers at a McDonalds with no pretensions. It is just the way it is.
Yeah, and what’s the father of one of the world’s richest men doing driving a seven-year-old car?
And I agree with the earlier Freepers who suggested alcohol was involved. Clearly the old geek just didn’t forget where he was and go wondering off. Very crafty old codger I would say.
