    No one should ever buy into the “billionaire using their wealth for good” propaganda.

    By nature of them hoarding their immense wealth, they are stealing necessary resources and money from the working class they exploit, that would render their charity work completely unnecessary.

    It is the essence of the breadcrumbs example in action. They eat a colossal buffet, give breadcrumbs to the starving masses, and demand to be treated like heroes for it.

      There is one notable exception: Mackenzie Scott (Bezos’ ex wife)

      Look up Yield Giving. She’s trying, successfully, to be a good person.

        Haven’t seen the charity yet, but Bill Gates runs a very successful charity too, doesn’t he?
