This is what Bill Gates DID start doing with his money. Now, internet dipshits blame him for every conspiracy they can think of... and hes still not Batman.

Do you know how fun that would be???

You could essentially be Santa!

Unpaid school lunch debt? Gone.

Layaways about to expire? Paid for

School with no A/C or heat? Y'all chilling and baking.

Holy crap it would be fucking magic to people.

Kindness + Empathy, we don't all have it and that's too bad.

This comment isn't in defense of Bezos, Elon or any other billionaire that hasn't stepped up in ways we'd expect. However, I will point out a giant fucking flaw in the U.S. when it comes to philanthropy. We have legislation that discourages and blocks some contributions that philanthropist make towards helping our poorest Americans. I mean, hell, in 33 cities across the United States it's fucking illegal to feed the homeless. These laws aren't put in place to help anyone. They're put in place to scare the public. I mean if someone in the U.S. tells you they're homeless, it's almost taboo to befriend them or help them. Our society hates the poor - we scare people into working to the bone to keep an overpriced roof over our heads. The rich need the poor so they can point and say "either take this shit wage and work your life away or look at what you'll become on the street. We're making strides in the legal system to make sure no one but family and gofundme can come save you."
