minus-squareDon Escobar@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·3 months agoFun fact, if I were to inherit the wealth of a billionaire family member who was shot in public I’d get philanthropic real fast!
minus-squareRQG@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 months agoMany people say this. However of those who talk the talk, barely any ever walk the walk. However I think if you are born an heir to a billionaire, you’d lack the perspective which might foster selfless philanthropy. I’d like to think that if someone from the working class would randomly get such money they would. But it still seems unlikely.
