Fun Fact: Rosa Parks was pretty much financially destitute in her later years, and the founder of Little Caesars Pizza stepped in and made sure her rent was paid, and she wanted for nothing for the rest of her life. True Story.
Or we could just have our taxes go into funding services for citizens instead of lining the pockets of leaches on the system. Then we wouldn’t have to worry about the whims of rich people.
We shouldn’t have to depend on the whims of citizens (rich or otherwise) to fund basic necessities for our neighbors. This goes beyond rich people philanthropy; it extends to schools and classrooms, where each year not only are we given a list of items to get for our kid, there are items the teachers need (like printer paper, glue, etc) too. The throughout the year there are fundraisers, boosterthons, and fun-runs all so the school can afford updating and fixing the building or providing needed equipment for the staff. Then of course, our current healthcare system (the one at gofundme.com) that relies on donations from the community to see whether or not people can get much needed healthcare services…

His name was Mike Ilitch, and he had a lot of philanthropic endeavors. We need more people like him in the world. 🫡

Yeah, we’re fucked.
Except for he also donated a lot to anti-women groups too. Which just goes to show people are capable of many things at once.I’m trying to read up on this, but I’m not sure what I should be searching for. Would you be able to point me in the right direction?
My apologies, I confused him with Tom Monaghan. Of Domino’s. I have been assured Mike Illitch was in fact quite decent.
We regret the error and will correct the offending item.
