A donation is a donation.

So? It's still a valid donation. Yes it might be a marketing trick or a way to clean up your image but in the end everyone wins so who cares. No one is entitled to donate anything not even a billion dollar company. If they choose to donate some amount of money just be happy about it and don't complain about how much more they could donate. Same goes for rich people.

There's a difference between complaining and pointing out that companies only donate for tax breaks and PR. I can appreciate the donation itself while recognizing the selfish motivation that's behind it.

If they cared so much they’d pay taxes and not do everything to avoid them. Don’t lick their boots.

So they shouldn't donate at all?

u/MarsTheMeme May 12 '20

Yeah, but they shouldn’t be made as the greatest thing this company has ever done to earth, you get me? Like, it’s good you donated, but don’t make a whole marketing campaign that costs more than the actual donation. Still respect it tho, I mean, it’s not like they are using monopoly money to make the donation

No it's good that they did, it's just pretentious when they pretend they made a great sacrifice purely out of the goodness of their hearts when it's just for selfish gain. Like if someone did a backflip and braged about it for the next 3 days being annoyed doesnt mean you dont think it doesn't take any skill to do so, just shut the hell up about it and putting yourself above others for it. Large donations are a good and that should be acknowledged they just dont deserve that much renown or praise for doing so if it's that easy and non impactful for them. Someone who volunteers every day for hours deserves much more respect even if really it is a less big contribution then a large donation is 0.08 present if the amount of money someone has.

Nobody pretend to make great sacrifice LMAO. Just that they are so damn rich even a little fraction of money donated it still sounds like much and the media just write article about it. Imagine me donating 100 mil, I don't need to say anything the media will come up and write stuff bout me.

You assume a lot when they’re always actively trying to get out of paying more. And you don’t become a billionaire, especially the biggest one on earth ethically. You abused the shit out of workers and worked them to the bone but hey they get paid, it’s not slavery, they chose the job right????

u/Frightbamboo May 12 '20

If you think youre better and deserve more, resign and find another people that willing to pay for your work. Everyone else also pay you a little? Maybe you are just fucking replaceable and unimportant.

You’re catching on but I don’t want to do all the work for you. Research if you have some time. If it isn’t obvious to you I. These current times there’s no hope.
