    Millionaire? Nice. Billionaires should follow suit, but 1000x

    (With ~800 billionaires in the US, that’s 79,200,000 homes)

      They didn’t become billionaires by being charitable.

      Quite the contrary. You CAN’T accumulate that much money except by exploiting others, creating issues like homelessness.

      That’s my takeaway. The positive effect of the charity of this mere millionaire really does a great job showing just how fucking evil billionaires are. So much potential for positive change in the world siphoned into yachts and propaganda

      Except it would be unethical for a billionaire to throw that much power around. They should relinquish the value back to the communities from where they took it.
