but more importantly, you are more than welcome to refute any of the facts and figures I posted with your own dissenting facts and figures but knowing how facts are like holy water to a vampire for you MAGA's, I'll not hold my breath. 

Facts? That you were able to name eight rich people?

As usual, you miss the point. The list was the Top 10 of US biggest philanthropists (I only highlighted 8 ) of which Musk didn't get a mention. The list was in reply to a poster who queried what Musk could do with his money. I merely suggested the same as other billionaires do i.e. use it for some good.

What are any of them doing to reduce homelessness or improve education in the US?

 

What helps people more, a job or welfare?

Because charities inherently don't tackle the problems of homeless or improving education? Given that you've raised the question, you should do the research and find out for yourself what, if anything, they are doing.

If you don't know, why respond? 

 

Why not respond where you and I left off in this thread yesterday? 

 

You have nothing.

If you bothered to read the article I linked you would see that Warren Buffett donations focuses on health and poverty alleviation.  Bill Gates and Melinda French Gates have a lifetime giving of $42.5 billion, with a giving focus on health and poverty alleviation. Michael Bloomberg has a lifetime of giving to causes focusing on climate change, health and education. Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan focus on science and education. Steve and Connie Ballmer support children in poverty, and Phil and Penny Knight support Black residents of Portland with funds going to education services. Jeff Bezos and his fiance, Lauren Sánchez focus on the environment and education.

 

So yeah, plenty of focus on 'improving education in the US' and as for your false equivalence of 'What helps people more, a job or welfare?' (which wasn't even being discussed) the answer is obviously jobs but welfare is also required if you want to call yourself a civilised society and look after your more vulnerable citizens. You obviously are of the 'f**k everyone else as long as I'm alright Jack' camp but thankfully most people are not.

Thanks lefty. 

Has it occurred to you that it might be even worse if not for their efforts?

More false equivalence. 'Health, education and homelessness in the US worse than ever' is not the responsibility of these philanthropists but at least they are trying to do something. And as usual of the MAGA brigade you are quick to jump to name calling but if looking after vulnerable people is 'lefty' then I'll wear that title with pride.

Has it ever occurred to you that they may be making things worse than they otherwise would have been? 

 

Why not respond where you and I left off in this thread yesterday, cat got your tongue? 

 

You have nothing.
