> Q: If we had enough money to fund #PublicServices properly, we would need less #philanthropy.
>> BRIAN: Exactly. Philanthropy is a very poor way of deciding how the #money is distributed.
/fin
>> BRIAN: It’s absolute bollocks. The rich give away a smaller proportion of their money than the poor do....I don't actually remember the figures on this, but poor people, as a proportion of the money they earn, give away much more than rich people do. #Philanthropy is something that people do to make themselves feel they have an alibi for being #wealthy.

#Trump is directing US federal funding agencies to cut back their support for #climate research. Private funders could make up 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦 of the slack. But not the #GatesFoundation. It's cutting back too.
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/12/climate/bill-gates-breakthrough-energy-cuts.html
PS: The question is why, esp when #BillGates still supports climate mitigation, invests in clean-energy technology, and spent $50 million to defeat Trump in 2024.
