The inherent problem with this is that charity should be something guided by community consensus and expert opinion, not at the whim of an oligarch (who is primarily funneling money into his own foundation). Imagine if that money went into fair worker pay and then was taxed appropriately, where it could then be used for outreach programs, grants, funding ngos, etc dictated by political means rather than having some pseudo king having to decide your cause is worthy. granted in our current climate the political means are rotten but if we had an equitable system that didn’t allow for bill gates to exist we would hopefully have a better framework for this part too.
Also will take the time to point out that for all of his “charity” his net worth has, for the most part, stayed the same or increased throughout the years. Something tells me his kids will have still have obscene generational wealth
Isn't Gates the guy who convinced Oxford to turn away from licensing their Covid vaccine under an open license so anyone could distribute it for cheap, and instead made them sign with Astrazeneca "to scale up production and distribution"
Structural misogyny, so it's mostly the horrible old men doing it.
Im sure the horrible old women would be just as vile if we let them. (But we don't)
Nobodys blaming the not-horrible old men. Nobody's gunning for bernard sanders steve woczniak or mel brooks. Id mix a mocktail with metamucil in it for those guys any time.
I'm not trying to defend men here, in fact they are horrible; but it's not like history hasn't seen horrible female leaders. Almost like it's a human instead of a gender-specific trait
Look, Thatcher was a complete asshat and I hope people use her grave as a toilet for the next 1000 years, but scoring one point for women are just as bad, compared to the thousands of male asshats just feel forced.
Do we know a matriarchy would be better? Noop. Do we know it would be worse? Noop. We could at least try something beyond the dysfunctional system we have today.
And this is how david hogg got fired after winning the dnc election. We dont need one type of person, what we need are qualified individuals no matter what gender or race.
Simply replacing the gender of those in power does not change the systemic conditions of power. In other words, a system designed by and as a patriarchy does not cease to be a patriarchy because it is run by women. It would only cease as such by the very same systemic changes needed to bring non-(wealthy-CISHet-WASPs) into the the majority of leadership.
I truly do not want a government loaded full of MTG's nor Barretts.
This is not a gender issue - more female CEOs and shit aint gonna fix the system. I am fed up of wealthy people ruining the world and you should be too.
Psychotic? You're saying Trump, Putin, Netanyahu, etc. are suffering from an acute period of paranoid delusions and hallucinations?
Or are you and everyone else who upvoted this meme ready to admit that you have no idea what most psychological terms mean, and just sprinkle them randomly through your sentences like SpongeBob and Patrick after learning a swear word?
