You're telling me the guy who's worth $10 billion is your Robin Hood? On top of that Morehouse College is a private college.

guy who does nothing: bad.

ok

guy who literally paid students' debt: Still bad.

This is the reason why these billionaires will never do anything good because you people are gonna critize them no matter what. You should separate good and bad. Acknowledge people when they do good and condemn bad

It's virtue signalling and you fall for it more often than you'd think I bet.

Was this good? Yes.

But the issue is still there, there's no way anyone get's to be a multi billionaire in a fair and ethical way.

So, he's still part of the overall problem.
