One thing Bob knows is pulling things. Usually, it’s at massage parlors, but hey.
So is sex work shameful or not? Make up your mind guys
Sex work is fine. Billionaires supporting a fascist genocide is not.
So why bring sex work into it?
I don’t know anything about what the OP was referring to, so I couldn’t tell you.
Oh, so you jumped in to defend someone while, admittedly, having no idea what was going on? I’m confused.
I don’t need the context of the situation to know either statement is true. If the guy had something with sex workers, I’d need more context to actually criticize those actions. As it stand though, sex work is fine, billionaires are bad, and billionaires supporting fascist genocides makes me wonder why we aren’t drawing and quartering.
Bc Robert Kraft was caught in a sting in Florida getting a handjob. The manager and owner of the parlor got charged but the billionaire got away with it.
More a question of the man’s financial priorities.
Less billionaires, corporations and hedge funds involved in higher education would actually be a turn for the better.
Yes, tell the administrators to whip those students into shape, that’ll bring them around.
Certainly won’t have any blowback in the least.
This is why we need to strengthen department of education. Otherwise these asshole billionaires will run education system like theirs own fiefdoms.
Of course repubes want to get rid of department of education. Perfectly on brand.
No idea who he is but good for him. If more of the aristocracy announce themselves we will know who to not give a fuck about.
No idea how he got rich, but he owns the NE Patriots (US) football team
We need to just, like, cancel money. Fuck these twats and their useless ignorant influence. How dare you put education on the line to defend genocide
garbage human
No relation to Kraft/Heinz, so continue to enjoy your boxed mac n cheese.
I will continue to not watch football o7
Uncomfortable billionaire is at least a step in the right direction
Schools are taking people’s free speech! Wait, I’m not donating to schools until they do it more! But to those I dislike!
So he’s pulling support from the school, effectively he supports the protesters and staff who walked and not the school who is trying to make them go away. I don’t care about his mouth words, his actions matter more.
He’s pulling support from the school that’s cracking down so heavily and violently on the protests? What’s he for I’m having trouble understanding the logic here.
It’s easy. He wants more pressure, more punishment, also it’s a good excuse to get out now since colleges are doomed in the US due to reasons.
Nah he is sad they aren’t going harder on them
Kraft echoed the sentiment in a statement issued through an organization he founded called the Foundation to Combat Antisemitism. “I am deeply saddened at the virulent hate that continues to grow on campus and throughout our country,” he wrote. “I am no longer confident that Columbia can protect its students and staff and I am not comfortable supporting the university until corrective action is taken.”
There’s something inherently creepy about a guy who isn’t Jewish starting up a foundation called “Combat Antisemitism” and then lean really, really hard on the “Combat” part without seeming to give much of a shit about the Antisemitism part.
I get strong “Can’t wait for Israel to be obliterated by war and bring on the Second Coming!” vibes from this.

It should be prohibited for schools, hospitals and politics to depend on investors
Well, it’s not an investor, just a donor. Almost all universities and colleges are non-profits, so they do not have investors.
I dont really care what they are called. They donate not as charity but to get something in return. It can be promotion, goodwill, influence, access to top picks etc. That is IMO investing
Sure, I get what you mean. But how do you stop that in any non-profit? It could be a local community organization that buys books for kids, then some rich guy donates a shit ton of specific books. You can’t stop people from donating, yknow?
(edit: for the record, I was the upvote on that last comment, not the downvote. not trying to make this a fight)
Actually, you can tell people “no thank you”… to go with your example, if the books donated were Mein Kampf or something like that.
I am not arguing against donations. My point is them being depended on them. Some places it is free to go to university, college etc. medical care. Other places it costs a fee. There is no reason for them to become dependent on donations especially politicians
Also who cares about up/down votes!?
Not saying I care about the votes. Just saying I don’t downvote people in a discussion (unless they are engaging in bad faith/trolling), since I noticed someone had downvoted your comment almost immediately.
That being said, even in some countries with excellent health care standards, organizations depend on outside donations. I imagine a similar thing happens in education but I can’t say for sure, since it isn’t my field.
Although, just for the sake of playing devil’s advocate, any system dependent on govt funding could be corrupted by the govt’s agenda, just like a donor could shape a nonprofit.
I agree, that they are, but argue that they shouldn’t
Almost all universities and colleges are non-profits
That’s more a tax-dodge gambit than a reflection of their business policies.
I was very confused about that headline until I realized they meant Columbia University, not Columbia the country in South America.
That’s spelled Colombia. But, yes it is confusing because Colombia also has joined the ICC case against Israel with South Africa.
It’s interesting you bring up the ICC because they ruled Israel is not commiting a Genocide
… Palestinians? I thought they were protesting Gustavo Petro’s reforms.
I’m pulling my funding from Kraft goods
