Affable misanthrope. Sanguine cynic. Fanciful realist. Seriously humorous. I won't suffer fools. Opinions are my own. But they’re pretty good, so pay attention. he/himbo

Melinda French Gates endorses Joe Biden for president
It is the first time French Gates has endorsed a presidential candidate.
CNBC

Melinda French Gates, a philanthropist and the former wife of Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, announced that she will vote for President Joe Biden in the 2024 presidential election.

“After Trump’s first term in office endangered the health of women, compromising their safety and robbing them of essential freedoms, I’m supporting Biden this election and asking others to do the same,” she wrote in an op-ed.

French Gates announced in May that she would be resigning as co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, about three years after she and her ex-husband announced their separation.

Melinda French Gates, a philanthropist and the former wife of Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, announced Thursday that she will vote for President Joe Biden in the 2024 presidential election, writing in an op-ed that “the stakes for women and families couldn’t be higher.”

“I’ve never endorsed a presidential candidate before. My work on gender equality and global health often requires me to work with leaders on both sides of the aisle, so I’ve avoided talking publicly about who I voted for in past elections,” French Gates wrote in the op-ed published by CNN.

“Right now our society is like a sick man who (A) doesn’t know he’s sick, (B) refuses to believe he is sick, © believes the medicine is poison, (D) has no health insurance and can’t afford the medicine anyway, and (E) also has no means of transportation to get to the doctor. The very first step in that long list of obstacles to his health is to get him to understand that he is sick. That’s why I spend so much energy showing evidence that the media are lying to us, that we are ruled by psychopaths, and that our status quo systems are driving us toward annihilation.”

Almost everything about our lives is arbitrary. Most of it is inherited culture and societal norms that are often outdated and silly. Names, titles, labels, borders, all is arbitrary. The only objective things in life are birth, death, and how well we treat each other in between.
