Socialism is a very good means of controlling the masses.

Which is its main purpose.

It is the ultimate system where the government becomes the monopoly on a good life.

People depending on the generation have no memory to go by on what shit they live in.

“Since World War II, US-government R&D has defined the state of the art in almost every area. The private sector is in general inept.”

Says the guy who made his fortune through stealing the CP/M operating system.

Just because you can't innovate, don't assume that nobody can.

Just because he was smart in computers and is now rich, does not mean his smartness is in other areas as well, to include knowledge of socialism and capitalisim. But his richness gives him a voice, which we mere mortals are free to disregard.

Bill Gates' $123 Million Washington Mansion

It took Gates seven years and $63 million to build his Medina, Washington estate, named Xanadu 2.0 after the fictional home of "Citizen Kane"'s Charles Foster Kane.

At 66,000 square feet, the home is absolutely massive, and it's filled with high-tech details.

Half a million board-feet of lumber was needed to complete the project.

The house was built with 500-year-old Douglas fir trees. 300 construction workers labored on the home - 100 of whom were electricians.

You can change the artwork on the walls with just the touch of a button.

$80,000 worth of computer screens are situated around the house. Anyone can make the screens display their favorite paintings or photographs, which are stored on storage devices worth $150,000.

The house has 24 bathrooms, 10 of which are full baths.

Those bathrooms would definitely be useful if Gates were throwing such a big party. Otherwise, it seems a little over-the-top.

There's a total of six kitchens.

They're situated at different parts of the house so staff can be ready for any event.

An enormous library houses a manuscript Gates paid more than $30 million for.

All together, Gates' garages can accommodate up to 23 cars.

There are several different garages located at different points around the property. The most interesting one, however, is an underground cave made out of concrete and stainless steel. That garage alone can park 10 cars. Some of the concrete was purposely broken to give it a rough, "deconstructivist" look.

Gates has a favorite tree, and it's monitored electronically 24 hours a day.

He reportedly became fond of a 40-year-old maple tree that grew close to the home's driveway. It's monitored by computer, and if at any point it becomes too dry, water is automatically pumped into it.

An artificial stream is kept stocked with fish.

The stream and wetland estuary were created to solve any problems with runoff that the property's large walls might have created. The water is kept stocked with salmon and sea-run cutthroat trout.

The sand on Gates' beach is imported from the Caribbean.

The lakefront shore contains sand that's delivered in large quantities by a barge from St. Lucia each year.

Bill Gates is a God in his own mind... He should have stayed with computers.

He’s outside his field, he has a lot of money and he’s a liberal elite and he’s used to getting his butt kissed. That’s how.

All that money, yet there is no joy on that poorly shaven face.

Ted Cruz is right. Climate change is not science, it is a religion.

I guess even Gates has the longing for a higher purpose but even the most clueless person on earth could not possibly believe in the Climate Change thing unless it was a matter of faith.

I will never understand it. Why do they long to believe in something so wrong, so unproveable? And they want US to stop it. They will not give up their energy consuming toys but we need to.

Sad state.

Somewhere I came across an account of a tour bout viewing the estate.

One tourist was to have said the he’d stayed at better looking motels....

Got that right, and they make them volunteer by saying it is hard and a sacrifice. Pure social psych or psy ops.
