re: #105 jaunte

Can just one of these billionaires quit fucking around and do something good.

Gates Foundation is doing family planning and contraception worldwide. Also, has drastically reduced (and hopes to eventually eliminate) malaria.

Mackenzie Scott Bezos doesn’t have a foundation, there’s no application process, she just writes checks. 8 billion a few years ago, another 4 billion last year.

Bloomberg doesn’t give as much as he could, but still — half a billion here, half a billion there, it adds up. Mostly public health stuff (paid to build a few hospitals) and environmental stuff, he’s also the largest donor to Stacy Abrams voter registration organization.
