What is more powerful?
> JUST IN: CEO of biggest company in the world donates 90% of their wealth. Articles for years about how they did it.
> CEO of biggest company in the world joins many others in promising giving away most of their money but not doing it.
Mind you, I have nothing against rich people and crazy spending. Just don't pretend like you're so magnanimous if you're not actually doing it.
- sokoloff 4y agoIn our world? The second. My prediction is the donation from the Patagonia founder (whose name I have already forgotten) will be written about fewer than 10 times in significant distribution in the two decades from 2025 to 2044. Whereas the giving pledge type of billionaires will be written about more than annually on a per capita basis. It's the same reason I think that politicians are reluctant to quickly deliver on their promises. Because those promises represent pain points which represent the power to get them (and their party) elected in the next election as well. That power goes away if the pain point is solved.
