Yes. Every time we have some crisis people look to billionaires to fix things. I wish folks would stop that.

It shows a dangerous naïveté about how things work and what you can realistically expect. https://twitter.com/rbreich/status/1249378031384383489">https://twitter.com/rbreich/s...

We shouldn’t have to have economic saviors.

You spend any decent amount of time trying to get high net-worth individuals to give to charity and you realize how hard it is to get someone worth billions of dollars to come up off of even $25K to help other people sometimes.

I literally have had someone brag to me about how much money he had, but when I asked for some of it to help people, the subject changed faster than you can change the channel on a TV. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy">

Yes, there are wealthy people that do help in meaningful ways, but far more do not.

When it comes to The @HumanUtility, there are people who write me and are ashamed they can only donate $5 at the moment, but they want to give because they can empathize w/ the people we help.

I have talked to millionaires and billionaires who wouldn& #39;t even donate that same $5.

But, at the end of the day, we are in the situation we are in because we have a deficit not of money, but of empathy.
