Yeah, you’re talking about money, but the important thing for a kid is losing their entire context. It feels like being fired, but without understanding why. Money is entirely beside the point.
Yeah that happens too. No one is invulnerable to bad fortune. I dont want to come across as defending the Zuck family. I don't even care about them. But charity should not be an obligation.
Actually, in this context, I believe it effing should be. These people are stratospherically wealthy, and they’re using so-called charity as nothing more than PR and political cover.
Hundreds or thousands of people have made consequential life decisions based on this “charity,” and the removal of it will upend non-trivial parts of their lives. It will make zero appreciable difference to the Zuckerbergs, which is appropriate, because keeping the school in operation seemed to matter not to them either.
So yeah, when you use pocket change to fuck over thousands of people for political purposes and them fuck them again when you get bored — I don’t see how anyone calls that charity with a straight face.
