Well if you personally know the data on the well being built in areas of Africa that were in desperate need of a well built and that it solved the water issues in those areas, you could share it.

Daremo 11/10/23 12:37:38 AM #213:	An old story, this specific iteration stolen from Reddit: There's a Jewish parable that tells of a rich man who wanted to do some good for the community. He went to the rabbi and asked what the community needed most. The rabbi told him the orphanage was in bad shape and the kids there were living in poor conditions and they desperately needed a new building. The rich man went out and told the whole village that he was going to build a new orphanage. He set aside the money, purchased the land and the materials, and hired an architect and builders. The day before the project was supposed to break ground, the rich man's rival told him, "you know, anonymous giving is a much higher form of charity than telling everyone about it like you've done. It's not good to do it for the publicity like that." The rich man went back to the rabbi and asked if what his rival had said, was true. The rabbi explained that yes it was true, there are different levels of charity, the highest being preparing a body for burial since the recipient can never know and never return the favor, next was anonymous charity that no one else ever knows about, followed by charity known only to the recipient, followed by publicly known charity. The rich man, realizing that he'd lowered the spiritual value of his charity by telling everyone about it and using it to improve his reputation. "In that case, I should cancel the new orphanage so I'm not using the publicity for personal gain." "Do you think the orphans care about the spiritual purity of your motives?" Shouted the rabbi. "Build the damn orphanage!" --- Cynic, n.

St0rmFury 11/10/23 3:32:17 AM #219:	The only criticism I can think of is if he build the wells without teaching the villagers how to maintain it. There are also several articles I read before where wells built by foreigners tend to make those villages valuable and may attract the attention of nearby warlords. Then there are also cases where the village leaders become greedy and start charging fees to harvest water from the wells. But the last 2 criticisms has nothing to do with the well builder, so yeah. --- "Average Joe" is a trolling term since it's completely an opinion.

The problem isnt entirely the fact that wealth is funnelled to the top - its that most of the top do nothing with it and often turn out to be terrible fucking people too.

I think most of us critical of capitalism would be satisfied if tax loopholes were closed, tax rates on the rich increased (and the funds used appropriately) and workers were paid well and protected. We dont need billionaires to cease to exist entirely.

I agree no one should be a billionaire - concentrating that much money in one place is the other side of a rather nasty coin: this is how many people are correspondingly poor. --- Depression, self-hatred and suicidal tendencies are not "being edgy."

While Mr.Breast are appreciated, but often media coverage ignores internal politics of certain countries. Activists in Kenya just want to go further with their reform.

Mibahlzitch 11/10/23 4:51:49 PM #248:	I mean, I get it, I'm jealous as fuck of this guy. He's successful and popular and he's doing tons of charity work to achieve it; it makes you think "Well fuck, I like the idea of helping orphans and poor people too but I'm not rich doing it, I wish I had done that" and it gets you angry. Maybe the guy even is kind of bigheaded and happy about being popular, fuck if I know. But I get it, man, it makes you wish you could quit your job and somehow make money just giving stuff to people in need, right? But I feel like getting too pissed off at the guy is just missing the point too much. That parable/story someone posted from Reddit earlier in the topic has the right of it; if he's doing good deeds who even cares if he sucks and may deserve criticism in other areas, he's still doing the good thing. I'd go as far as to say this for people who deflect to Elon Musk as well; yeah, Musk is an asshole who deserves criticism for a lot of things, but if some of his money is going to a genuinely good cause, that's not something he should stop it's more like "Oh good, at least something he didn't isn't a waste of time." --- It's all true. <cite>Mibahlzitch posted [p:977145137] in MrBeast ge...
