Quite interesting breakdown of the idea of 'directing' that money by early/mid 20th century billionaires and how we've arrived where we are today in Dark Money

I don't really follow the 'projects' of the super rich. I suspect they do them for various reasons, some presumably a vainglorious legacy polishing (Gates, Buffet), some probably with more dubious reasons (Bezos).
I guess it's better that their some fraction of their wealth stockpile is spent than not, but it's the arbitrary direction of it. The choice of the direction of funding should be made in a more democratic manner rather - or 'tax' if you will.
