Philanthropy porn is just disgusting to begin with. That alone should have ended him. But people think it’s a “feel-good story” so they keep watching. A lot of times, the follow-ups to such stories feel less good since the people getting that philanthropy often can’t afford to pay to maintain whatever they’ve been given.
I agree, but on the other hand the people he helps, well, get helped, and would be worse off if he didn’t do that. Obviously it would be better if he wasn’t making money off of it, but would it be better if he stopped?
As morally dubious as he is, I’m sure the people who have access to water after his “build 100 wells in Africa” stunt would disagree with opinions that he should stop.
So I don’t know. I agree with the criticism, but I always think of the people who got help and I’m unsure what would be better.

This is fallacious and it plays into what I said. There is no follow-up on those people. You don’t know if they would be worse off if they weren’t helped.
He “built 100 houses and gave them away” earlier this year. Great. Is he going to pay to maintain those houses? Is he going to pay to insure them? Is he going to pay the property taxes? And, of course, now they’re tied down to one specific area because they have a house and if they don’t like their job and there isn’t another job available? They’re stuck.
Home ownership isn’t necessarily cheaper or better than renting. They may very well have been better off before the IRS let them know what they owed for that house.
What’s scary is the Federal US gov, as well as the 5, an I think 7 eyes nations, have been working on projects for 40yrs to have victims of sexual abuse registered as sex offenders themselves. The claim being, if you’re raped, you will rape in the future. Poor kids like this will be registered sex offenders for life, they wanted to call them sexnoffenders until they “offended” or some such nonsense. It would still cost them jobs, and single them out as victims. Fed bastards only want control at this point. They could care less about facts. People need to stop pretending this is Democrat vs Republicans…40yrs. Both parties had a chance to make things better in 40yrs. We only pay for bailout after tax break. They never fix anything just scrambled for ways to stay in power.
