    I don’t want to rely on the benevolent, unaccountable billionaire. They can never be voted out of office. Imagine if Bill Gates, arguably spending these last decades much of his $$ to improve the world had been Trump or Musk?

    Plus, research shows a disproportionate number of corporate leaders are sociopaths or psychopaths. People with psychopathy crave power and dominant positions. I don’t want them making decisions to change the world.

    This was all GW Bush'es "Thousand Points of Light" agenda, that private philanthropy would be spurred by deceased govt assistance.

    It's all been a grift. Eat the Rich.

    @jeffowski Ha, Ha, Ha! Billionaires get huge philanthropic credit for donating a million dollars, but it’s only is the percentage of wealth equivalent of a millionaire donating $1000. They only appear philanthropic because the rest of us cannot imagine what a billion dollars is.
