Zuckerberg And Wife Commit $45 Million To Two Main Political Causes
dailycaller.com ^ | 10/24/2017 | Eric Lieberman

The hefty sum — although still a fraction of his fortunes — will be directed for the solving of two main areas of personal concern for Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan: widespread incarceration and unaffordable housing. The funds will come from the personal coffers of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI), a limited liability company that outwardly reflects a foundation.

“You can make change, but in order for it to be sustainable, you need to build a movement to support it,” Zuckerberg said in an interview with The New York Times around the time of Plouffe’s hiring. “No amount of private research or philanthropy is going to shift that. At the end of the day, the government has far more resources than any individual organization does.

" “No amount of private research or philanthropy is going to shift that. At the end of the day, the government has far more resources than any individual organization does." SMDH! Guess markee mark still doesn't understand just where the government resources come from. But, if he wants to toss out $45 million, it's his money. For more cheap housing and less incarceration.

'In order for something to be sustainable, it has to be sustained.'

Lifes lottey? Missed it by that much.

I’d like to see affordable housing built in HIS neighborhood! Hey Zuckerberg, why don’t you let some of the refugees and the poor of this country come stay in your compound for free?

Why is widespread incarceration of interest to Mark Z?

How does FB earn money? Is it from selling personal information? If that’s the case do FB users have the right to know who it’s sold to?

Or is it completely government owned? Or both?

Just signalling to the other elites. They want to round us all up and put us in concentration camps.

We ought to encourage people like Zuckerberg to throw their money away. It’ll be that much less for other mischief.

Hint for Zuckerberg: widespread incarceration is linked to widespread crime.

All he’s trying to do here is win over blacks.

Better yet why not let some hoodlums he got out of jail stay at his pad?

$45 million for Zuckerberg is equivalent to one of us stuffing a dollar in the Salvation Army bucket at Christmas. The difference is that none of us do it and say “Look at ME!”
