Warren Buffett’s son is on track to donate $1 billion in aid to Ukraine this year—and pledges to continue despite Trump’s shaky relations
Buffett’s foundation, which focuses on humanitarian needs like agriculture, infrastructure and mine clearance, has contributed about $800 million to Ukraine since the start of the full-scale invasion, including $175 million in humanitarian demining.
Thank you to Howard G. Buffett!
I am glad that Howard Buffett has a sober understanding of how the russians operate. They will not engage in good faith unless you demonstrate that you are able and willing to fuck them up.
I have mixed feelings about this headline. On the one hand, it's good to see this much money going to a good cause. On the other hand, I firmly oppose the ability of any one person to control this much money.
Compare this one guy's donation to a good cause against all the other billionaires donating money to the Heritage Foundation, MAGA, etc
Not the OC but the problem I have is in just one private citizen's ability to influence so much military power. While historically this isn't new and in this case it does overall good, I think that this kind of thing is a slippery slope that eventually could lead to billionaires funding wars to manipulate market elements for profit.
I also hate that it just moves forward this idea of "individuals and charities will pick up the slack" when they dismantle everything good the government does.
Yeah, we know. There's hundreds of opportunities to complain about its use for evil. Let's just appreciate it for what it is.
Sounds like those motherfuckers need to pay some taxes, clearly.
That's your take away?
They shouldn't exist to begin with, workers should get a bigger share and products should be cheaper. Taxes money aren't necessarily used for good especially when you have a bunch of fascists at the government.
If the wealthy's heads end up in baskets, the Buffets won't be among them.
