Billionaires and millionaires are the philanthropists. Without the Helllspawn 1% and their ways, a lot in this world would not exist or no longer exist. Hospitals and medicine are two great examples of altruistic values. Please, let's not talk healthcare or tax write offs. How much art would not exist, or history would not have been found and studied without philanthropists? Nobel. Getty. Kroc. Carnagie.

Bezos is new billions and is going to get more billions with shipping and junk during this C-19 deal. Let's see if he money's up. Gates has been working his billions to help hundreds of millions.

Okay. Just a word on tax write offs. Every time folks donate to charitable organizations, and write it off on their taxes, and get money back for it, has just forced the government to make a donation to their favorite charity. Write off the clothes you drop off at Goodwill and the government just donated on your jeans. Pay for a hospital and you aren't going to pay as many millions in taxes. I'm okay with that.

Trample the weak and take all you can.
or
Trample the weak and hurdle the dead.

Gingerbeard Noam Chomsky will make things perfectly clear for you.

Sure Gingerbeard The Waltons are an extreme example of that "philanthropy". They didn't even consider a puny raise for their employees until dot gov gave them a huge tax break. Then it was just a smidgeon above minimum wage. Additionally they began cutting their hours taking away any benefits that they once had. Trickle down theory was the greatest hoax foisted on the american public by Ronnie Ray Gun! He was a salesman and he sold the working class their own demise with his ransacking of the unions. I have often said I would like to demonstrate trickle down theory by urinating on dear Ronnie's grave! You cannot deny those employees are are doing absolutely essential work for a mere farthing. Risking their very lives to check out your groceries. We need them far more than the Waltons!

My brother Phillip worked at Walmart in Evergreen Park, Illinois for 9 years. He liked his job and had a lot of friends there.

A few weeks ago, he left work feeling sick. He was a diabetic and was diagnosed with COVID-19. And last weekend, on Sunday afternoon, he took his last breath. It still doesn’t feel real even as I write this.

The part I can’t get over? Walmart is putting people’s lives at risk. We’re hearing that Walmart KNEW people were sick at the store and didn’t inform any of the employees. For weeks, my brother and his coworkers worked at Walmart without masks or gloves while thousands of customers came in every day. There was no enforced social distancing at the time and inadequate paid leave to make sure people weren’t going to work sick.

Walmart is refusing to act to control the spread of the virus – and it may be costing people their lives. Join me in calling on every governor in every state to force Walmart to prevent more deaths.

People are getting sick and Walmart irresponsibly denies hundreds of thousands of employees adequate paid sick leave – if someone wakes up not feeling well, they have to choose between coming to work sick and paying the bills.

Walmart should have seen this coming – and they should have done more to prevent the spread of the virus.

Governors have the power to force Walmart to close facilities with positive cases. They have the power to convene a Walmart coronavirus response task force that includes not just corporate but employees as well, to work together to solve this problem.

I can’t bring back my brother. But I can do everything in my power to prevent other Walmart employees and customers from getting infected while the company refuses to keep our communities safe. I’m asking from the bottom of my heart to click here to tell your governor to close the Walmart stores with positive cases and convene a coronavirus task force to prevent more deaths.

I want justice for my brother and his friends at Walmart. I don’t want more people to die.

Thank you,

The ruling class are, but a highly specialized parasite. They coalesce your energies, and productivity essentially "privatizing" your labors. Fred Trump for instance made his horde through mainly federally subsidized housing. He dipped from the public trough, and made private the proceeds. Warren Buffet got his start with GEICO (government employees insurance company). He took those ill gotten gains, and invested in the biggest Ponzi scheme going otherwise known as Wall Street. Casino capitalism is nothing more than an illusion that they manage to keep going until a bump is hit exposing the entire system for what it is. A scathing insider's look at the inner workings:

by Tan Liu I am not in awe of these bloated organisms knowing well what they have has been siphoned from the vast populace.

They just said in the local propaganda that 50% of those that have or have had this C-19 have no symptoms, completely asymptomatic!

[herbgrower]

Glad to hear that man. The more knowledge you share, the more shall you have!

Exactly why I continue to frequent this forum, besides the much needed information on how to grow great weed, it opens doors into other areas of discussion that I have never personally heard. The breakdown of the games the ultra rich play I understood on a peripheral basis but this video really opened my eyes. Thanks.

Bill Gates is a fucking thief! Internet Explorer is one of his thefts, but he got caught and had to pay 5mil to the creator.

Whatever you say about gates. Bezos is a DB

[Obi-Wan]

Gates is only giving away what he can’t take with him or give to his daughter. I can appreciate what he’s doing but let’s be careful not to make him the example of what a billionaire should be. He’s the best of a bad bunch, the least offensive douche in a room full of shitty people.

[Gingerbeard]

This isn't at all related to anything C-19 or other pandemic, nor is it weed related. I just wanted to use a dirty word. Pussy Galore died. 'sall I'm saying.

[Bowhunterwoody]

Gingerbread you are exactly right.

[Gingerbeard]

Gates' motto - Give it away

Bezos motto - Bang! Zoom! To the Moon!
