But more importantly taxing people so a proper universal social security net exists. Donations and charities are symptom treatment (and very inefficient treatment at that), while proper social security is treatment on a structural level.

Came here to see this.

So sick of seeing Mackenzie Scott articles. She shouldn't even be able to donate billions of dollars. She should be paying some fucking taxes.

Shes basicslly the only billionare currently donating her fortune away. Ideally that fortune would never have existed, but at least shes largely doing that herself.

Hopefully you save some vitrol for the billionares shattering the planet and not just for the one who actually, somewhat agrees that they have too much money and are doing something about it.

I hate them all equally, but I reserve special vitriol for those who performatively donate it in order to generate favorable news headlines, whether it's your favorite pop star, a celebrity athlete, or a wizened beloved investment oracle.

They're all parasites and shouldn't exist.
