I think their efforts at philanthropy are well meaning, but a lot of the underlying problems faced by society are structural in nature and so run much, much deeper. Particularly since their wealth is tied to profit, and their companies must be profitable in the eyes of their shareholders to keep it going. There is only so much one person can do, even if you are a billionaire yourself.
They are shady as hell imho.
Thought provoking. Do these billionaires with big goals really look after humanity and the environment with their companies? Maybe we don't need to go to space to do good deeds.
I'm surprised Branson skated through #metoo completely unscathed.
Come to think of it, Branson skates through everything pretty smoothly, have you noticed?
Highly rEsteemed!
Another lovely piece 🌺 The new exit is super cool! Great job.
