Carnegie figured it out - if you want a decent legacy you have to give away a significant portion of your wealth to something that actually benefits people. Carnegie did it by funding beautiful Libraries (among other things). There are so many things Zuck could do for people if he really did care about public opinion and legacy. Otherwise he’ll always just be seen as some asshole who hordes his wealth and barely acted human.

It was successful. When I think of Carnegie I think of the university and libraries he built, not the thousands who died in the Johnstown Flood or Homestead Strike.

I’m just so sick and tired of big government forcing me to maintain my private club’s dam.
