Forbes has given us what may well be the most insufferable, self-serving, tripe-ridden excuse for the world-destroying parsimony of his filthy-rich brethren. He lauds their generosity in the 13%, yes, THIRTEEN PER CENT, that the ultra-rich contribute to charity and further lauds the efficacy of the spend as not only does he consider this enormously generous but he also thinks it is changing the world.
What they have done has not significantly affected what War Child has to do for the children.
You can read about Forbes and his brethren in the Washington Post: How billionaires are fixing philanthropy
Yah, they're fixing philanthropy ... the same way Margaret Thatcher fixed the coal miners' union.
Any graph you want to review will show you how wealth has been shifting to the right for decades and this has nothing to do with hard work but rather in manipulating the systems to ensure the money cannot flow back down again. Money is largely useless if it does not circulate and you can easily see everywhere in the world there is chaos as a result of it shifting to the right. Unless chaos is a desired product, it seems obvious to me the rich do not use their money very well. In the current model, there doesn't seem to be any more purpose to money than to get more of it. If there is a product, then what is it?
The money focuses to a tremendous extent on the preparation for war in a world in which only one country wants one. It has been repeatedly kicking Putin in the shin trying to start another one as this keeps the whole business moving.
It's really not clear to me why people put up with it. Why people will just roll over after being insulted so mightily by Forbes and say, that's ok, honey. You didn't give me an orgasm but I still love you. It's embarrassing, it really is. The German hippie kids yanked all the second-string Nazis out of public office in Germany and there was uproar when they did it. The American kids stopped the Vietnam War and that was uproar too. Cops cracked heads all over the place but the changes happened. And now Forbes spits in our faces.
(The Nazis were still in-office in Germany after the War as they would after any type of military defeat as the administrative infrastructure is impossible to replace altogether no matter where you do it. These weren't the hardline Nazis but rather the middle-ground administrators who operate the Water Works or whatever.)
