> tying his donations to having his name put on a hospital
Isn't that normal? There's a reason so many buildings have a person's name on them. Carnegie Hall, Enoch Pratt Free Library, Guggenheim Museum, The Getty, The DeYoung, Coit Tower, ...
AFAIK Half the buildings on any college campus are named after the donor that paid for it.
You want hospitals, how about the Huntington Hospital, Sutter Hospital, UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital, Helen Diller Medical Center, I'm too lazy to go look up more
Yes, that's just one of your points but if you're reaching that deep to find fault it detracts from your other points as it makes them suspect.
- Barrin92 6y agoYes it is normal, for people with the net worth of Zuckerberg most of which are full of themselves. Doesn't really detract from my point as much, it just means he's not the only guy in the club, and it's a boys club btw, I don't see McKenzie Bezos putting her name on everything. Maybe you and I and countless of other people chip in some money at the end of the year. (in fact in proportion to our income we donate more), and I don't see ordinary people forming a union to name a hospital, we just click the donate button and go on with our lives. Like Chuck Feeney btw, to name one very wealthy person that is way less vain.
- st1ck 6y agoYes, it is a question of vanity, not necessarily integrity. Even worse is when politicians do this, so you have Erdoğan University, or Nur-Sultan city.
