Zuckerberg has already set up his estate so that most of his fortune will be given away when he dies. A Trump would never do that….
So basically, fuck those that need help now.
I see how that's moral. [/end sarcasm]
Zuckerberg has literally changed the world for the better. A Trump will never be able to say that. How much is Trump giving away when he dies?
AH, he's god because he hates free speech. ok. :blink:
Did you know he tried, and mostly succeeded, in fucking over the real inventors of FB?
Bill Gates did a similar thing with DOS.
Mark Zuckerberg has stated that his biggest regret was to ever make Facebook "open" to begin with. He's ended that. Facebook was created by two identical twins and Zuckerberg - a 3 way partnership. Zuckerberg conned, lied, and deceived the twins about the value of the company, and bought out their 2/3 of the company for $50 million. 6 months later, the company was valued at $6 billion - which is over 100 times more than he gave those twins! A 10,000% profit in 6 months isn't bad!
Bill Gates bought / plagiarized DOS from IBM for $50,000 Gates has been a lifelong crook and conman. He is allowed to have a monopoly because he puts backdoors into Microsoft Windows which is running on most computers worldwide.. giving the US access to those computers.
Gates doesn't have a monopoly. There are plenty of competitors to MS products. Ever heard of Apple or Google?
You must be quite young and naive. Ever heard of WINDOWS? or PCs? That is Microsoft's monopoly. Every motherboard manufactured with an INTEL cpu has to pay Microsoft a hefty royalty even if the board is not used with Windows. As for Apple and Google, they are small pototoes compared to Microsoft. Microsoft's products are crap, they always have been. They use their money to buy out their competitors for peanuts, and steal their technology and products. Gates has so much money and so little brains that he doesn't know what to do with himself anymore. He still hasn't invested in a comb or wardrobe, or gotten a haircut that cost more than $20.
Windows isn't a Monopoly and hasn't been for quite a long time. Apple has iOS. Google has ChromeOS. There is also Linux. In fact, most of the computers in the world now are mobile phones. Windows has less than 1% of the market share in Mobile. I don't even think they are making Windows Phones any longer.
You are talking about a problem that existed 30 years ago when Microsoft was the biggest player in the tech space. They are not anymore. They just announced 2000 layoffs actually.
A mobile phone.. is a phone that is mobile.. it is not a computer.
Linux has 2.53% of the OS market
Apple has 3.52% of the OS market
Windows has 1.42% + 6.1% + 6.48% + 27.63% + 48.91% = 90.54% of the computer OS market
If you don't think 90.54% is a monopoly.. then you need to cut back on the whacky weed.
In the area of mobile phones, Apple has about 35%, Android has 49% and others have 16%

The number of employees has little to do with being a monopoly.
Years ago, an overseas programmer and I had a monopoly on a certain utility.. all by ourselves for years and it made a FORTUNE. Eventually hundreds of companies came out with their own shitty versions of similar utilities, none of which were worth a damn, but they wiped out our monopoly due to their aggressive, overwhelming, and suffocating marketing practices.
