I saw a video clip of this place in a local news report somewhere. This guy’s a badass.

Talk about spending your money for a great cause, on top of being an amazing father!

This is well out of reach for most of us to replicate, but think about Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk… These dragons could change the entire world, yet they instead only seek personal gains and the disruption of positive progress.

Good for this guy and his family, though. He did what so many will never care to do.

Let’s not lump Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk together though. I feel weird defending Bezos, but he does have a big charitable fund that’s quite transparent about how it spends its money. As for Elon, he’s allegedly given billions to charity, but has never specified what that charity is and given his views on things it’s probably appropriate to consider that highly suspect.

All the positive things they could be spending their money on that wouldn’t put a chip in their wealth and the only charities any of them do keeps turning out to be ways to hide their money from the tax collectors.

Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk… These dragons

The only sense in which they’re dragons is “dragon deez nuts across our faces”.

Literally lmao. Hate Bezos all you want but the US can’t live without Amazon now; it’s another Walmart/Target now.

It’s still baffles me how hard the ball of online mega Corp was dropped by Sears. When the world returned to catalog shopping, They failed hard.

Somewhere in the multiverse Sears is the online giant Amazon is in our reality, and it makes perfect sense.
