You realize my argument is that there is an inverse proportionality between overpopulation and sanitary conditions, right?

his biological parents were syrians, but that's nothing to be proud of considering steve jobs, like most middle easterners, had this shady used car salesman personality. steve wozniak was the brains behind apple, but most apple fanboys don't even know who he is because steve jobs created a cult of personality around himself.

i.e. he's the "idea" (not really, though) guy that has everyone do the heavy lifting and takes the credit for himself. he also was an idiot that believed in all the new age hippie bullshit and might have extended his life if he actually sought real medical care. to top it all off, like most rich shitskins, he got himself a blonde trophy wife that began burning coal as soon as he died.

step out of your fantasy and look at how the world actually works. if you want to stop immigration you need politicians that will keep immigrants out, which was the case until about 1980s when the flood gates have started to open. virtually every large city in the western world now has significantly sized no-go zones courtesy of all the immigrant savages and politicians that let them in.

Well, he's well meant in a sense, but his method is all fucked up. Windows and Microsoft in general have filled a hole in a sense but they filled it with shit.

Kinda like he wants to fill the production/automation hole with shit: https://www.rt.com/business/377967-bill-gates-robots-pay-tax/

Bill Gates obviously knows how to smell a niche, and fill it with shit so that nobody else can ever fix it.

Governments and various corporations today spend trillions of $ on proprietary software but only provide a millions to the free source solutions that can do the exact same thing. It really appears that Microsoft is the driver of this culture.

It appears that he will fuck us with automation too and humans will have to continue to do labor even though there will be cheap technology safer than humans available.
