[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you look back to the 20th century, the robber barons and industrial leaders were certainly not saints. But there seemed to be a compulsion to give back through philanthropy, and at least set an example of civilized behavior.  We can think of the Rockefeller Foundation, Ford Foundation, Carnegie Library, etc.

Now our business leaders are sociopathic nut jobs.  Musk, Bezos, Trump, Zuckerberg…. They give back nothing and seem to want to squash and devour the middle class.  Only Bill Gates has developed a significant philanthropic effort.

Is this generational, or does extreme wealth now corrupt in a way that wasn’t possible before?  I think Bezos is an interesting case.  You can see video interviews with him from the early 1990’s and he’s a regular, pleasant guy.  Now he thinks nothing of renting out and entire city and wrecking the lives of anyone who gets in his way.

This was really difficult to research, OP.     :roll:

You didn't mention Bloomberg, but you just had to mention Trump.  Why?
