Last week there was an item on French TV, France 2 jt 20 heures, about a European billionaire who has promised to donate half his fortune to charitable causes. The caveat was, if I recall correctly, "...que ce soit utile..." Ergo if it is effective.

Rich people like Gates, Buffett, Zuckerberg don't just turn their money over to like BART or PBCAHSR or SMART 'cause they know these agencies are ballasted with institutional arrogance, bureaucratic hubris, NIH etc. not to mention union janitors making $271 k/yr. So instead they give their dough to putative charities in Africafor instance, with the side benefit of scoring mucho goodwill for their businesses with the local honchos.

And of course this serves to buy your way into heaven.
