Gates has done some good with his money but a lot of stuff about him reads like pure PR to me. Its like hearing about how Ford supposedly increased wages so people could buy cars, but when you actually look at the details that was just the PR spin to having hired, worked to injury, then fired so many people that large wages were the only way to keep enough employees to run the factories by convincing people in other states to come blindly move in under the promise of money. Most every "good" story about him outside of donating money later on ends up with not so great details and reality. |

It's pretty well known he was a huge antisemite.
Then again, from what I understand, antisemitism was pretty popular in the US in the early 20th century. It was only after WWII that it became more of a taboo.
