I guess after Trump's election, people who have money will try to stand out and show that capitalism is not always inhumane. Either that or they will realize that wealth is not just a reward of power, it's also a responsibility to their country and their citizens. I wish the wealthy would see their achievement as a success for their nation and employees, not for their own self. The whole anti government anti collectivism anti taxes and "I did it myself" is really a plague.
There are many example of very wealthy individuals of the 19th and 20th century who gave a lot and it still lives to that day.
- melling 10y agoThis article has nothing to do with the election, or politics. Hacking research, and medical research in particular, is beneficial to everyone. It would be helpful to figure out a way for more people to contribute rather than throwing out your political feelings.
- japhyr 10y agoThe rise of anti-intellectual politicians and policies makes politics quite relevant to discussions like these. Ignoring the political impact on positive endeavors is wishful thinking.
- humanrebar 10y ago> capitalism is not always inhumane Though they don't use the terminology, most people have a beef with modern corporatism more than capitalism itself. Things like individual property rights and fairly enforced contract law are certainly humane.
