I like it when rich people do good things

While I agree with what this is saying, I’m not sure Seth MacFarlane is who the “Rich” is in this story.

[-] Smallletter@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago

Productive rich people like creatives are not the problem unless they do problematic things. Billionaires are always a problem and are exploitative by their very nature.

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 years ago

Yep. You can get rich by being productive and lucky. You can't become a billionaire without exploitation.

[-] dipbeneaththelasers@kbin.social 8 points 2 years ago

Same. I wish we had the infrastructure and protections to not need them to though.

[-] thunderclap@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago

More of the A-listers should do this.

Tom Hanks surely has a few mil in between the couch cushions.

The article notes some others.

[-] onionbaggage@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

And that's why Seth has no trouble finding work.

Being worth a dollar amount doesn't mean you have that amount sitting in a bank account waiting for you to use it. I'm all for hating on the rich but you could at least educate yourself first.

[-] eltimablo@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Education is right wing propaganda, though, haven't you heard?

People like you will never be happy with anything. If he'd kicked in 50 million you would say he should give away his whole net worth. If he'd given his whole net worth, you'd say he should have sold his family into slavery to give twice that.

You and those like you are the reason people don't help each other out more. Nothing is ever good enough for you entitled little shits.

@downpunxx your downvote makes it way too obvious that you know I'm right.

[-] raltoid@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Only a person who actually believes those net worth figures is stupid enough to say something like that.

[-] jerome@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Awe c'mon.
