Sorry Bill but it’s too late and not enough. I still want to eat the rich and that includes you.
Although I‘ll admit if all billionaires did this instead of - oh you know - investing in fascism and actively dismembering democracy globally I might feel different about this. But as things stand I am done with billionaires. We cannot coexist. Simple as that.
Isn't he literally the only billionaire who has been donating a lot over the years?
But yes, fully agree. There's no reason any person should be that rich. They're cause and symptom of a fucked-up system
Absolutely not. I think others give a bit less, but they’re just not public about it.
Warren Buffet makes $5B annual donations to charities. He’s an investor, so if he gave it all out as a lump sum, he wouldn’t be able to make more to donate next year (and aside total received, many charities work better with consistent yearly funding)
McKenzie Scott (Bezos Ex-Wife) is doing what she can to get the divorce money to where it normally doesn't land, so if we eat the rich, i'd currently say she's off limits, pending good behavior.
Dinner sentence with reprieve.
