Yes, he is funding charities. However, look at what he is funding, medical
stuff and maintaining status quo; not that there is anything wrong with it.
It would be nice if he were to fund some social issues would it not? How is
it, that there a thousand of charity in medical and maintaining of status
quo, and so few funding sources for social change? As far as I know non
that fund accessibility? I've been incorporating the following question when
I lecture in social work classes : "If you could contribute 5$ to a
foundation which of these would you choose
A medical research foundation or an accessibility foundation. I'm sometime
surprise to see that some students would give the 5$ to accessibility
foundation.
