It must be exhausting, keeping up with your cynicism. I genuinely feel sorry for your apparent lack of joy.
I'm pretty positive, and I appreciate beauty in art and nature quiet a bit. I spend time at public gardens in my area and grow herbs and flowers in my backyard. I smile a lot as well.
But that doesn't mean I'm blind to the costs of certain things, especial in the subject of finance which is predatory in nature.
You say that, but I doubt you would refuse it in real life. What’s the difference here than the thousands of kids who don’t have loans to pay back because their parents paid?
But philanthropy is not an answer to student debt.
In fact he is just using his money the way he likes, not for societies betterment. The fact that he is a billionaire is the problem itself.
But Americans are easily seduced by billionaire kindness.
The society represented in that graduating class would disagree with you, I'm sure. So philanthropy is not the answer to student debt. And government assistance isn't the answer to student debt. Then what pray tell is the answer? I find it amusing that a man takes his own money and helps people who have worked hard to get to this point, and then is criticized for doing it. And what does that even mean, that Americans are easily seduced by billionaire kindness?

Bringing tuition costs back down to zero like they were before the 70s would be a starting point.
As for philanthropy, what does it mean when you say 'his own money'?
The money gained from gaming the financial system and speculating on value which brings prices up for everyone? His wealth came from the suffering of others like all Billionaires.
And Americans are seduced by people like Gates and this guy to believe they are good people who are not the problem and should keep such wealth. We may as well return to the time when nobility was expected to help the common folk.

I assume that most billionaires have gamed the system, not saying I'm in favor of that. It's just good to see some use their money to help others.
Do I have a problem with CEOs being paid exorbitant amounts while their workers can barely pay their bills? Yes. But until something is done about it, kudos to this man for sharing his wealth with those less fortunate.
All I can think about is how pissed I'd be if I was in the previous or next years graduating class lmao
