No public water parks please. Let’s get good universal healthcare, universal basic income, better education and job security for special needs folks. Then they can decide if they want to spend their money on a water park, or maybe skydiving for those who hate water, or a trip to Spain. You know, actual functioning capitalism. The safety net should be set to thrive, not survive.
This charitable water park actually fits right into this vision. I have no problem with it.
I believe absolutely yes. $50 million is a lot but it’s not a ridiculous, grotesque amount of dynastic wealth. It’s the cusp of ultra wealth. It could be earned through hard work, though unlikely. And with a safety net those who have it could more comfortably give it all away. Anything more than about $100m is disgusting to me. Musk is worth 10,000x the water park. We need to give him the French treatment.
Sweden and Norway have more millionaires per capita than the USA. So I’d imagine having a safety net will increase the number of charity water parks.

Can we have proper social safety nets and still have people with 51m dollars to spend on having fun?
