Anyone who thinks ANY publicly traded company acts in YOUR best interest (unless YOU are serious shareholder) is in the words of my 11-year old kid - delulu :)
- johnnyanmac 2y agoI'll ask my delulu question here but: where are the angel vestors who DO in fact what to help humanity. Do they exist and are just working "underground"? Or do you just get absorbed into the system once your net worth is past $X million dollars?
- bdangubic 2y agothe first thing that came to mind after I read your words - Google started as “do no evil…”
- HDThoreaun 2y agounironically https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Bankman-Fried https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Bankman-Fried. He gave hundreds of millions to charity-start ups, even if you disagree with his definition of "help humanity" he certainly put some money behind it.
- physicsguy 2y agoProbably just outspent
- account42 2y agoYou don't tend to amass vast quantities of money that you can then invest if your mindset is about helping people.
