For my next trick I will offer my unsolicited thoughts on the Bill and Melinda Gates divorce
rollo Aug 3 '21, 14:19
Bill Gates and Warren Buffett are/were close enough friends (such that Buffett committed ~$31 billion to the B&MG Foundation) that surely Buffett's own approach to marriage and divorce would have been known and perhaps resonated with Bill and Melinda as a way to keep their personal lives out of the papers and avoid the messy legal intricacies of divorce. If you don't know, Buffett was married to Susan Thompson until she died in 2004. From roughly 1977 until 2004 Buffett and Thompson maintained an open marriage - remaining married, living separately, and seeing other people. While unconventional, for the ultra wealthy Buffetts, it seems like it made a lot of sense. By all reports Susan was well taken care of, and they were both spared the scrutiny that would have come with a public divorce etc. In my opinion, B&M Gates would have had many incentives to set up a similar arrangement, and would have had a strong blueprint for it from their close association with Buffett. That they did not is telling. Also relevant to my thesis, Buffett resigned from the B&M Gates Foundation in June. The Gates' divorce was finalized yesterday. Warren Buffett and Melinda Gates both concluded they want to be as far from possible from Bill Gates. Bill Gates and Jeffrey Epstein were well acquainted and Bill attended many meetings at Epstein properties etc., "to discuss philanthropy". Bill Gates is also known to exhibit sketchy behavior toward women, treading the line if not crossing it into harassment territory. Conclusion: Bill Gates definitely had sex with underage girls via his association with Epstein. When it came to light (privately) it was the last straw for Melinda, and was a deciding factor for Buffett to end his philanthropic relationship with the Gates. Fuck Bill Gates in hell. My opinion only.
