Dennis 8,391 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 52 minutes ago, Why am I on GGD said: Not that I'm necessarily supporting Oprah (I know next to nothing about her) but we don't know how much these celebrities are donating to any of those charities. Maybe Oprah focuses more money on a select group of charities that she knows well, instead of spreading it over a larger group that she might not know as much about. No one should ever become a billionaire. You won't need that much money, so if Forbes says you're a billionaire, you're inheritently a bad person if you're not giving up a lot of that wealth.

Billionaires don't actually have billions in their bank accounts lying around. You have no idea what the f*ck you're talking about. Sit down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have no idea what the f*ck you're talking about. Sit down. Umm they have at least a billion in assets or potential earnings for the year that they are considered a billionaire. It’s the very definition sweetie pie. I don’t really understand your point or vitriol tbh. A billionaire is a billionaire. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresco 1,688 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I don't understand why people are so opposed to the research that autism speaks does (preventing and finding causation). If anyone finds that autism is a disability (and it is), then certainly finding the causes and preventing it are necessary. There are other organizations that are more focused on treating people that have it. It may spend too much on fundraising activity, so I'm not endorsing it. But the flyer that I read, listing the problems with it, was likely written by an autistic person( a person with the disability). So, the person writing the problem sheet wanted more gifts of money to be given to autistic families. I would argue that there is a need for the prevention research and that social security should be used for disabled, if they need it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Autism Speaks treats autism like a disease that needs to be manhandled. They assisted Sia with her movie Music, which showed questionable ways of handling sensory overloads in autistic people. https://medium.com/illumination/why-autism-speaks-is-bad-d2ac66e356f9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main issue with Autism Speaks is their methods, marketing, and belief that autism needs to be eradicated and that parents’ lives are over if they have an autistic child. They spend 22% of their budget on marketing against autism instead of helping autistic people that are already born and here on this earth. Disgusting.

You have no idea what the f*ck you're talking about. Sit down. You didn’t want to respond? Just laugh reaction? Did you get schooled lol. I want to hear your reasoning, as I find it pretty hysterical. Especially considering the things these billionaires spend money on (which is public knowledge btw and easily searchable) and the shear amount of stock and investments they own (All of Elon’s billions are in Tesla stock which can be easily sold for what? FIAT CURRENCY LIKE THE USD!!!!). Let’s hear how billionaires don’t have billions of dollars. Please explain. And please name a billionaire who doesn’t have a billion in assets.

Imagine the mental state of polio victims, it must have been so hard for them to know they had a disease that people were actively trying to eradicate. You have to imagine that. Why? Because polio is eradicated. No-one gets polio anymore. No-one wants to go back to the time when people were disabled and died with polio. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
