when he was asked about it on camera he started fidgeting like a kid with their hand in the cookie jar

I'm pretty sure I said this in a thread here when the video was posted a couple years back, but I actually think that even if someone is completely innocent, it's pretty normal to feel anxious and uncomfortable and act weird when being asked about a controversy they know their name is tied into. I wouldn't judge him as guilty based on that. I'd judge him as guilty because scheduling meetings with Jeffrey Epstein is simply not some unfortunate accident that a blameless soul might haphazardly stumble into.

I get irritated because billionaires get all this credit for making society function, then their failures reduce them back to being mere mortals. It's similar to how Kamala Harris is "the best person for the job!" but then it's "her staff wasn't giving her good advice or were going behind her back."

Part of being a leader means you know how to deal with shitheads under your supervision, how to delegate, how to vet people, and how to avoid doing stupid shit like being seen with a guy who has photos of himself surrounded by young girls, drugs, and alcohol. The fact Gates didn't avoid Epstein in the first place just goes to show billionaires don't deserve shit and they only got there through corruption.
