I'm honestly surprised it's taken so long for an incorruptible billionaire to step up and take hold of public service. I shouldn't be surprised but I'd figure one would've at least had a self-serving savior complex. JB seems like the real deal. An intrinsically motivated do-gooder with power.

The sin isn't being born white. The sin of otherwise good white men is not doing enough work with other white men.
