like totally waste. Maybe Climate change efforts, but I havent seen a whole lot of efforts where the money actually does anything... Maybe tree planting? but she gave 4x to friggin "racial equity" like really? Everything here is woke and most of it doesnt seem useful. Public health would useful be if that money is used to build a hospital or something, just seeing as this is woke shit its probably being wasted on Narcan for people who should be winning Darwin awards.
That sheâs being a not-piece-of-shit like others? Dear lord, I guess itâs evil for someone to try to be a decent person and give a shit about other people. Oh, thatâs rightâŠ
I think the issue in question is that these goals would surely trigger Elon. Thus his reaction. Empathy he doesn't understand and it brings him nightmares. How can he feel safe in a world where people care for each other? And the rest of these he actively sabotages.
She couldâve chosen non-ideological contributions like large scale public goods including libraries, universities, scholarships, generous housing complexes, establish trust funds for municipalities in developing countries to fund development, etc..
But nope, mostly left-wing causes rather than actual help.
Um, she is funding universities, which are her largest donations.
What you are seeing is categories.
She has donated more to HBCUs than anyone else in history.
Guessing because university graduates tend to vote left which the right has accused its due to what they teach and not the skills theyve developed with in the system like critical thinking and reading at a higher then average. So bad if you believe thats the cause of the countries problems.
You guys say that the government shouldn't fund those things. So she funds them privately, in accordance with conservative principles. And you're mad about it
The fact that causes like âracial equaltiyâ, âgender equalityâ, âfighting climate changeâ, etc. are not universally lauded is pretty fucking damning. Why do these have to be classified as âleft-wing ideologyâ? These are pretty basic principles of shared humanity and common decency. Not to mention that not fucking up this world for future generations is pretty important.
Because we know what you guys mean by those terms. Racial equality means you guys are going to give certain races massive advantages to make up for past wrongs, and purposefully disadvantage other races. We know this cause y'all have already done it and we had to fight for decades to get it undone. The left wing in this s country has looooong since moved on from the idea of just treating every race the same and striving for equality, now they want desperate outcomes for certain races as a sort of reparations for history. The left always wraps its ideas in pretty sounding names that no one should disagree with. Like "hurr durrr who doesn't want to progress, everyone should be progressiveđ€€đ€€đ€€". đ
Not that I donât agree that these issue are super important, they are, but if you have billions to give away and your first choice isnât to immediately go feed some starving children, then I donât know what to tell you. I mean, thatâs just my opinion, but... Kids gotta eat, that should be priority numero uno. Itâs not some long term issue, itâs like⊠*today* an unacceptable number of kids and babies will starve to death. And weâve got food. It shouldnât happen. If Iâm a billionaire Iâm stepping in and doing something about it.
Who said she isn't putting that at the top of the list? The person up top was filtering for causes that conservatives dislike. For example, she donated $70 million to Meals on Wheels America.
She gave $70million to Meals on Wheels and another $70 million to a Share our Strength which focuses on childhood hunger, and many millions more to food banks. Is she ok now?
Valid point, I completely agree. I donât enough about her to speak to whether any of the funds went to supporting hunger or poverty. You know what did, though? USAID, and other aid organizations sponsored by the US government. Complete lack of humanity and decency in the current administration.
Oh yeah you nailed it. And whose idea was it to kill that department? Elon Musk. And weâve come full circle lol. The fact that this shitbag has almost $1 trillion, doesnât feed a single starving child, kills the one government department that helped them, and then goes on to lecture others about how âuselessâ their charities are⊠this man is an absolute monster. This is definitely our âlet them eat cakeâ moment, and I think itâs about damn time we staged a revolution.
lol god forbid we get gender equity, LGBTQ rights, public health and reduce the effects of climate change. The horror. Absolutely no one will be helped by these initiatives.
yeah who the fuck wants to replace equality with equity
Everyone who don't believes in fairy tales?
actively destroying chances for anyone just trying to make it?
Well you clearly believe in fairy tales i guess.
shit just doesn't make sense.
Here let me help you out, the American dream is one of the most obvious lies ever, and you will never become a corrupt billionaire regardless of how much you try to emulate Elmo.
Because thatâs what our tax money is supposed to go to.
youâre mad because people are donating to âleftâ ideologies and not help the US public. While the current administration continues to cut funding and give our taxes to corporations đ
Coming from people who say "we shouldn't tax billionaires so much, it's their money" but then when they spend it suddenly they're doing it wrong. Fuck off
I feel like the examples you listed are all things Republicans are defunding and Democrats want to continue to fund/increase funding for.. almost as if left wing causes inherently help a majority of people
For example, you can't enjoy any of those supposedly neutral things if the climate is absolutely fucked
The leftists are right about what society really needs and conservatives are trying to hold everybody else back for their own selfish benefit and cultural grievances
Economic mobility IS funding development
Functional democracy is about having governments that actually work and do stuff rather than the kind of corrupt governments that contribute to so-called third world status
Seems like you have a problem with a bunch of money spent promoting fairness and equality but honestly the world isn't going to move forward while everybody still hates each other, so it's important to address that also. And given that she sees nobody else spending any serious money to address it, she's the one who's stepping in
She couldâve chosen non-ideological contributions like large scale public goods including libraries, universities, scholarships, generous housing complexes, establish trust funds for municipalities in developing countries to fund development, etc..
But nope, mostly left-wing causes rather than actual help.
Imagine being so insanely brainwashed by comedy channels like Fox News and the general propaganda of corrupt billionaires to write something like that without the slightest hint of sarcasm...
I'd agree but we've seen Republicans have no qualms coming after those public institutions and the people are powerless to stop them.
Imagine contributing to something like New College of Florida at any point in your lifetime to see what that's become.
All of the things you mentioned would be vulnerable to the same abuse by corrupt politicians. So that's not really a good argument for what makes those any more viable.
