BILL GATES PREDICTS COVID-19 WILL KILL 50% OF BIZ TRAVEL!!! KANSAS CITY ECONOMY DOOMED IF CORRECT!!!

The pandemic has changed many lives permanently and experts are just beginning to understand its long-term impact. 

To wit and with thanks to AWESOME TKC READERS for the suggestion . . . 

IF BILL GATES IS RIGHT ABOUT THE DEATH OF BIZ TRAVEL, KANSAS CITY'S ECONOMY WILL BE FORCED TO EVOLVE!!!

Moreover . . . 

The convention hotel, New KCI, the streetcar and so many other ambitious developments don't have much of a future if biz increasingly relies on live-streaming and Zoom calls.

And while the billionaire's prediction is dire, it's not so out of the ordinary to suggest that technology will facilitate biz more effectively than old school meetups that only serve to bolster questionable expenses and marital infidelity.

Change is hard for many people but as the pandemic drags on it's getting harder to deny that the U.S. has fundamentally changed in less than a year's time and now the things that so many people took for granted (like toilet paper) are no longer assured.

  1. Might not make a difference either way. Most of the hotels in downtown will be closed by the time the pandemic is "over" if the mayor has his way.

    1. KC has always suffered from bad timing.

      We built the downtown p&l district at the start of a recession and now we're finishing a new airport when most people cut back on traveling.

      You'd think our elected leaders would consider the impact of dramatic changes in their decisions. Too bad they just like new shiny things paid for by taxpayers.

  2. After the downtown KCMO boosters and the local electeds have been sold a bill of goods by the "urban futurists" and have thrown everything into the "creative class" fad, and it's all supported by decades of debt, it's really hard to change direction.
    KCMO will be trapped by poor past decisions as far as the eye can see.
    Dig deep, KCMO taxpayers!

  3. We are all glad Bill gates took a break from sucking George Soros' dick for a few minutes to further the Globalist narrative and threaten Americans for NOT OBEYING THE COMMANDS OF BIG TECH.

    Bill Gates, Jack Dorsey, Mark Zuckerberg, the Google Mandarins and the entirety of Silicon Valley should be, and I hope, one day will, be indicted, prosecuted and incarcerated for their criminal machinations which led to the 2020 Election Fraud scandal.

    Perhaps we can stretch their necks, in exactly the same way, they stretch the truth, for their assault on the Constitution and the abject, shameless avowal of ANY decency and fair play.

    Literally, the crimes these snakes, who live under the floorboards of our nation's house, have, in the dark of night, aided and abetted by the Media, the DNC and The Deep State committed crimes so serious, they should be punishable by death.

    3. "the 2020 Election Fraud scandal."

      You mean the scandal where Trump claimed it would be a fraud unless he won, and then tried to find evidence to fit his version of the facts, and then couldn't find any (1-25 now)? That scandal? The scandal about avoiding a smooth transition of power, thT scandal, chuck? Trump sitting in the White House doing nothing while people are dying at the highest rate since the pandemic started? That scandal, chuck?

  4. Sounds like Microsoft and Twitter are in collusion as Gates is trying to stop the growth of Parler.

    Love it when multi-Billionaires tell the peasants how to live and think.

    Zuckerberg and Dorsey lied to the Senate committee. You could tell they were lying by their evasive answers trying to avoid perjury.

  11. Bill Gates is not a doctor. Bill gates put together vaccines and went to third world countries to test them and killed tons of people including little kids. Those who lived through his testing poison have life long complications from it. But that's our Gov. money talks even when it means killing people. Just look at George Soros and the BLM and ANTIFA they love to kill.

  12. Charlie Koch is hardly the founder and funder of conservatism. The founder of conservatism is Charlie Kirk and the founder of libertarianism is Murray Rothbard. The Koch brothers spent a lot of time and money trying to buy conservative politicians so they could get cheap labor and outsource their production to foreign countries but it did not work out well for them. Now, they are buying Democrats.

  13. Gates has been wrong about a lot of things. Then again so have I, I actually went out and bought a Zune.

    These projects would have meant bankruptcy for kc either way.

  18. Bill gates wants business travel to end because it benefits his company’s and all of big tech. There’s billions if not trillions of dollars at stake. This plandemic and more to come in the future forces everybody to do everything online. There’s nothing they can’t monitor, steal, change, stop or control with their “special programs”. It’s becoming more and more apparent with each passing day that computer programs such as dominion voting machines can be changed, the cia has been getting whole regimes changed by manipulating the votes in foreign countries. It sounds a little crazy but you wait, you’ll see, all this going on now is just a trial run.

    Top Pathologist Claims Coronavirus is “The Greatest Hoax Ever Perpetrated on an Unsuspecting Public”
    Says “masks are utterly useless.”

    Top pathologist Dr. Roger Hodkinson told government officials in Alberta during a zoom conference call that the current coronavirus crisis is “the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on an unsuspecting public.”
    Hodkinson’s comments were made during a discussion involving the Community and Public Services Committee and the clip was subsequently uploaded to YouTube.
    Noting that he was also an expert in virology, Hodkinson pointed out that his role as CEO of a biotech company that manufactures COVID tests means, “I might know a little bit about all this.”
    “There is utterly unfounded public hysteria driven by the media and politicians, it’s outrageous, this is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on an unsuspecting public,” said Hodkinson.
    The doctor said that nothing could be done to stop the spread of the virus besides protecting older more vulnerable people and that the whole situation represented “politics playing medicine, and that’s a very dangerous game.”

  28. 11:06, you have been challenged many times to explain your all too frequent comment that Trump is committing treason (what has he done or not done that fall under the definition of treason). Of course, you have not done so. It is obvious to everyone but yourself that you're a loon.

  29. I love the idea that you retards somehow have gotten that Gates was just flying around to third world countries testing vaccines on people with no medical or government oversight. Just a lone wolf out there testing shit out mad scientist style.

  33. The Real News.....Not The MSM Bullshit11/19/20, 1:07 PM

    Cigarette smoking is responsible for more than 480,000 deaths per year in the United States, including more than 41,000 deaths resulting from secondhand smoke exposure. This is about one in five deaths annually, or 1,300 deaths every day.

    And whose panties are in a twist over this? Have we shut down the country to deal with it? Have we demanded all wear masks that will filter out any smoke?

    Funny how we pick and choose what and how things will be handled or dealt with.

    More than 800,000 people in the United States die from cardiovascular disease each year—that's 1 in every 3 deaths. Where are the shut downs and demands mandates and so forth of all things related to causing heart disease at?

    Everyone knows this election was a fraud with the mail in ballots; even Democrats. There are no ethics anymore with the media who act like spoiled brats because Trump isn't afraid of them.

  44. @1:07, you make very good points. Unfortunately, USA has become a nation of sheeple that can’t think for themselves. The majority depends on CNN, Access Hollywood, social media and the Kardashians to tell them what’s “hot,” how to vote, where to eat, what to wear, etc. Even if a mask is a good idea, it’s not as effective as staying home, but I guarantee you that these mask promoters won’t keep their asses home if there’s anything they want to do. Instead, they’ll take the kiddies for ice cream or mom will go to yoga while dad goes to Home Depot for that necessary extra string of Xmas lights. Complete hypocrisy. They think if they have on their power mask that they’re indestructible. If everything is so serious and they really want to do their part, why aren’t they staying home to “flatten the curve?”

  46. MORTGAGE LOANS GIVEN TO ELECTION BOARD OFFICIALS AND SECRETARY OF STATE OFFICIALS IN ALLEGED BRIBES IN STATES THAT WENT FOR BIDEN.

    FOLKS HAVE CAUGHT ON TO JOE BIDEN ADMISION OF PUTTING TOGETHER THE MOST EXTENSIVE VOTER FRAUD PLAN IN THE HISTORY OF THE U.S.

    TONS OF FOLKS RESEARCHED THE NAMES OF OFFICIALS AND FOUND A PATTERN THAT SHOWS CERTAIN OFFICIALS GET THESE MORTGAGE LOANS OR HOMES PAID OFF DURING PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS..

    MICHIGAN COLORADO ARIZONA WISCONSIN PENNSYLVANIA ILLINOIS WASHINGTON D.C. AND OTHER STATES

    CHICAGO MR. W. KRESSE JULY 22, 2019 $422,100 Mr. J. Swain July 2, 2020 $256,500 philly election board Mr. J.Strauss mortgage $469,000 August 12,2020 just to name a few....

    Allegedly this could be what Biden meant by extensive voter fraud. Youtube video on this.

    Why wasn't his statement be taken seriously???

    This accounts for his lack of campaigning... federal statues on bribes and vote buying...

    God knows this and so does Biden and president Trump.

    Lots of people voted for Biden but many more voted for Donald J. Trump and allegedly Biden team planned ahead and Biden told how he'd and Obama did this before he alleged..

    Wow....


    It appears hundreds of election board officials have suspicious mortgage loans between 2018 to October 2020. Homes paid off and open end mortgages that appear to be GIFTS..wow...
