Is it a good thing when celebs/companies donate to charities?


They still donated that money to charity... There were a million other charities or causes they could've donated to.

people have no idea the mechanics of charitable tax write-offs.

they also fail to realize they can write shit off too. but nooooo, they'd rather spend their money on avacado toast and latte's.

Its the stupidest thing to whine about really. As long as the charity isnt a scam, helping people is helping people.

Celebrities are often criticized no matter what they do.

If they do anything they're criticized for only doing it for PR. If they do nothing they are criticized for wasting their privilege.

I think criticizing someones reason is fairly justified. Especially since its typically in response to someone being praised for donating proportionately very little of their total capital.

oh bullshit

Bullshit.

Giving to charity is a great thing. "Oh it's not the right % of your total capital" is fucking bananas. Most rich people don't donate shit. You get rich by hoarding

Not really. Their tax money should be going to help people too, but ideally in a more reasonable distribution. Now they took it and got to decide what they wanted to do with it instead of it going where it's needed. That's not an option for normal people and shouldn't be an option for rich people either.

I dunno man. People can do what they want. I just know I couldn't feel comfortable having a mansion with 7 bedrooms I never went in with 10 cars I didn't use while others starved, no matter how much I already gave in. Im a weirdo like that tho.

Would you feel better if you realized that no matter how rich you are, you can't end that type of blight? You're gonna stop yourself from enjoying a lavish life because you can't end a fundamental issue with supply/demand on planet earth?

You'd think with all this money supposedly donated to charity there'd be more noticeable social gains from it. That's why I'm inclined to believe that it's mostly cynical self-promotion and moving money around for tax avoidance purposes--especially when it's from those who are extremely wealthy
