            And that’s how you achieve a proper PR stunt.

            It wouldn’t look good otherwise and her PR people know this, a billionaire obviously employs the best.

            The donation could have been made completely anonymously. But it clearly wasn’t. Why?

            How would anyone ever find out an anonymous donation?

            If she’s go great, where are the scholarships, hospitals, schools, grants, etc that can help the masses? She could fund so much! Start resources for underserved students and communities. We have a social obligation to our fellow humans. Why? Because we decided to form and live in societies. We wouldn’t live together if we all believed it was every man for himself. If I pay so many taxes that I need to live paycheck to paycheck, then people making more need to pay more taxes. Don’t tell me they earned it and deserve the billions. You have no idea how much value I create for my employer. I deserve to have basic necessities met without going into debt.

              You and I don’t have a clue about her charity because she keeps it quiet. Not only is that the morally correct stance, it keeps people like you from beating her up because, “Not good enough!”

      She got found out. Far as I can tell she donates anonymously. Worked for a rich family that did the same. They honestly took Jesus’ admonition to give to the poor and STFU about it. Conservative Southern Baptist, if you can believe that. :)

        It is still stupid af, because instead of building a system that doesn’t require donations we leave it to the digression of rich (and very very often) greedy people.
