Microsoft Office is one of the largest #welfare programs in the world. it diverts REAL billions of dollars from the public coffers of governments, into the pockets of Bill Gates and his #EpsteinClass cronies.

Brasil pays for basic universal health care and UBI for kids because it said NO to Microsoft in 2005 & moved to #linux & #LibreOffice.

thanks to Trump, #Microsoft finally lost the 2nd largest economy in the European Union and the 7th largest in the world.

merci a la France.

@blogdiva fun fact: Steve Ballmer now owns 3x more MSFT shares than Bill Gates, and his net worth is also higher

And he deserves it:

On Win8 launch day a look back at Steve Ballmer, circa 2001 | I, Cringely

Steve Ballmer today is still willing to bet big and expects to win. The big question for 2013 is whether Ballmer can pull off something similar again?
