You're talking about cobalt mining.......Thats the Middle men of middle men...Not Microsoft straight up.
Microsoft's direct suppliers are only one link in the supply chain, and the company said there can be many layers of sub-tier suppliers before one finally gets down to the smelters, refiners, and mines where the origin of the materials can be determined.
So Microsoft is dealing with a bunch of Middle men....But thats just how big business is. Thats no different then me owning a phone store and selling the Apple products with the same conflict-minerals from West Africa. Would u say I'm making money off the backs of Blacks like a weirdo...or would u just chalk it up to big business? I'm just saying...I dont see people with picket signs in front of stores that sell cellphones or Apple products.
I used to have a vendors license....Sometimes wholesalers would come with their products that were more then likely from sweat shops. No one gave a damn that a scarf or hat I was selling came from a sweat shop. Sweat shops are literally part of the fashion world. Sean Combs had a sweat shop scandle and there wasn't any Black groups in any uproar so it looks fake all of a sudden doing it to Bill Gates. All those stores that sell diamonds in the hood...nikkaz aint going in there and asking "Are those Blood diamonds?" FOH. Thats not happening. nikkaz is going to shine, nikkaz aint thinking about the African who lost his arms to help him shine. So it looks kinda off u bringing up Africans mining cobalt being exploited all of a sudden when we dont do that with clothes or diamonds.
Ol boy said Bill Gates got rich off the backs of Black people are u saying the cobalt mining is the #1 reason for how he got rich?
Seriously..are u really trying to impy that? Bill Gates got rich off of improving on computers....Not no damn cobalt.

He was married to a sister while he was acquiring the wealth though.
You can tell she used to be a fukking dime in her prime.
So being married makes you a billionaire?

No but it also doesn't prohibit you.So being married makes you a billionaire?
This always blew me.
Pretty sure his bruhs would've clowned him for years had he decided to marry a White woman.
Its a shame he divorced his beautiful Black wife after becoming wealthy only to marry some gold-digging cac that High Hefner threw away.
He is.
He's been married 4 times and he's on his fourth wife right now.
Not a chance in hell a well-bred Nigerian Muslim isn't going to be married by his age
Buffett was married at 22, Bill Gates was successful but not nearly to the extent he reached in the late 90s/aughts, Zuckerberg had been dating Priscilla Chan since they were Freshman/Sophomores in college, shyt, even Larry Ellison was married in his early 20s.
Buffett divorced. He was a shyt husband to Susie. They stopped living together for like 20 years. He lives with one of her friends now. Bill Gates married at 38 to a much younger woman. He was definitely rich as fukk by 1994. Zuckerberg is a good choice. Larry Ellison is a lothario who’s been divorced four times.

This chick on twitter was saying how wealthy men don't marry thick chicks. Rich nikkas might but not wealthy "high value" men. Just tryna see if it's true.He lived here since a child/teenager and operates everything from here.. all his wealth comes from being in America
But you tried
It's called aging? They are both in their 60's
What are you asking breh?
Agreed, I don't think it was his choice
His taking a major L impregnating in the cac though
His older children are black

That's actually exactly what I'm implying, cobalt mining is the backbone of the tech industry
Cobalt is used in rechargeable batteries for wireless devices and hybrid vehicles, and in catalysts for refining gasoline. Half of the $440 million worth of cobalt consumed in the U.S. last year went into heat- and high-pressure-resistant “super-alloy” metals for aircraft engine compressors, combustion chambers, and turbines.
Your math is way off. Bill Gates was a billionare by 1985. The congo didnt become the biggest cobalt producer until 2005, the scandle would soon follow afterwards. 20 plus years after Bill Gates became a billionare.
You really trying to imply that technology that we weren't even using in 85 is how Bil Gates became a billionare? That makes zero sense.
More so rich guys marry very regular looking wise woman but that's usually because outside of their careers the guys are regular themselves. And a lot of black women especially with having children grow more thick in certain areas
That's also the problem with celebrity shyt, people are so focused in on pop culture and it's influence they forget everyone else who handles everything else to operate has human beings with influences you wouldn't believe are just normal looking people.
