                I feel sorry for poor Bill Gates. His fortune is down by 50% since the height of the dot com bubble.

                      Wonder why a subject of an colony of US is so obsessed by the rich oppressors.
                      With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

                          Actually, at the height of the bubble, IIRC, his net worth was $39 billion.
