doesnt he own bnsf and also he and biden crushed all the railroad strikes and attempts to unionize because train companies set record profits every year so we cant afford to give over worked employees extra sick days and a couple days time off. no all the train derailments lately arent related what do you mean

Billionaires don’t give away things out of the goodness of their heart, they do so to buy PR/influence. Just because the thing they’re trying to influence is something you agree with doesn’t make it a good thing.

It's probably possible for billionaires to occasionally donate money to some stuff that isn't bad but that still doesn't mean we should care or not tax the gently caress out of them They shouldn't be able to say "no I don't want to get taxed, I should get to choose what my money is used for as long as it goes to stuff that's some sort of dubious nonprofit"

I don't think he's a saint, I just think he's doing more net good than the billionaires who spend their money mutating social media apps into hate-speech echo chambers, trafficking child prostitutes, or making torture videos. Like, he's the only billionaire I know that thinks billionaires should pay the same/more taxes than the middle class, they literally named this idea after him. I'm sure he's some brand of dirtball, but I just think he's on the less lovely end of the spectrum. Modal Auxiliary has a new favorite as of 21:28 on Sep 16, 2023 |

I’m willing to believe it’s theoretically possible for someone to become a billionaire in a non-horrifying way (an extremely successful musician* for example), but deciding it’s okay to stay a billionaire after achieving that means that they’ve become a bad person if they weren’t one to begin with. *I say theoretically because I don’t think this has happened yet. I think all billionaire musicians so far got their through their ownership of businesses, i.e. how normal billionaires do.

Maybe he’s a good guy and maybe his heart is in the right place, there’s no real way for me to know. What I do know is that the foundation that was started is still under the control of the Chouinard family and it’s existence just so happens to save the inheritors over a billion dollars between sales and estate taxes. The overarching thesis amongst all of the charitable endeavors founded by billionaires is that they are the best arbiters of what is an effective use of money, not the government and not any other NGO. I’m glad that he wants to apparently save the environment but cutting out government and trying to do it himself is foolish.

No one does anything that is important enough to justify a net worth above maybe a few million. If you're a billionaire, you're blatantly profiting off of other people's work, and a whole lot of it. If you want to be not a bad person, you gotta change whatever you're doing so that you drop below at least 100 million dollaroos, and preferably a lot lower. And then you're not a billionaire anymore. Handing out charity while still accumulating the same wealth again is just optics. Sure, it's better than spending it on anti abortion lobbying, but ultimately it's a matter of degree of being a horrible person. Oh, and can I get a large Pepsi?
