Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, is a billionaire with no financial worries in the world, so of course he is calling for all small businesses to be shut down as part of COVID-1984 lockdown. The peasants can live on gruel.
The Western Journal explains:
Microsoft founder Bill Gates said that he is all in favor of shutting down bars and restaurants to deal with the coronavirus.
Gates was interviewed Sunday on CNN. Host Jake Tapper asked Gates to offer his thoughts on whether strict lockdowns should remain in force.
“Mask-wearing has essentially no downside,” Gates said. “They’re not expensive.”
As for many endangered small businesses, Gates said they should remain shuttered.
