    Meh. Only suckers give a shit about the “generosity” of billionaires. Tax them. Tax them down to millionaire status. Why should they dictate what programs get funded? It’s never worked before… it’s not suddenly going to start now.

    I mean, your own tumblr link is proof of that. After all, Gotham’s still a crime ridden shithole, isn’t it? Clearly Bruce Wayne doesn’t know what Gotham actually needs.

      Gotham’s still a crime ridden shithole

      In most continuities, Gotham is literally supernaturally cursed, often in multiple different ways

        I am convinced that someone at some point in the DC universe timeline decided to make a shithole sink just to see what happens, Gotham was the end result. Shame it somehow became multi dimensional.

      Points for talking about real issues but also this is a pretend fantasy billionaire we’re talking about

      better yet, fundamentally remove their power to rise again and build a system where money is not equal to power.
