      @WaelF - Money is extremely important; partially toward happiness but largely for many other non-happiness related things. This man's ability to give back and do all of those wonderful things is based on money. It doesn't guarantee happiness but from my experience is an important contributor to it.

      @@coffeeonthemoon I wish you all the peace in life and I deeply acknowledge your suffering 💙 I believe we are living 2 primary existences: Physical and Spiritual. Money can only facilitate your ability to express your souls purpose into the physical world. Pure happiness and joy comes from within, and it comes from beyond the mind. The mind is a construct that can leave a person feeling imprisoned if they identify themselves with their mind. We are much much deeper beings than the confines of our minds. Again, I wish you lasting peace and that you find your true self that exists beyond your anxiety and depression 💙

      @luigidaniele6175 Před 5 lety +9

      @@Jordan-ck9qv public services are not abysmally underfunded, there is a lack of supply in people working in trades that is what is wrong. The government spends over $2,000,000 to build a single public bathroom that has less than $25,000 worth of material. Why? Because the government puts out contractual auctions, whoever has the cheapest bid wins. So if the government says "Hey we want to make a public bathroom here! If you want to build it then tell us how much you want to be paid and the person/company with the lowest price wins!" And then if not enough companies bid then government hires workers to do it, and under federal law these workers are entitled to massive benefits for little work and as a result are paid over $1,000,000 and take over a year to build a single bathroom. This is why we are $20,000,000,000,000 in debt.

The way he speaks of feeling righteous for donating to charities is the classic rich way of "helping", i feel like if he was more so showing how much he has actually given back for things that aren't just donating to charities. It's easy to give money, it's hard to actually make a change with your influence often times these people don't try to do more with their influence because they all want to be well known and famous, and any type of activism on these peoples parts would somehow slight them as a businessman.
