Billionaires Michael and Susan Dell pledged a historic $6.25 billion on Tuesday to provide an incentive to families to adopt new investment accounts for children.

Billionaires can fuck right off. I didn’t post this to celebrate their “philanthropy”. I posted it to read your comments.

    This is the first time I’d heard about the “trump accounts”. This looks like just another trump tantrum copying something Obama did. Obama created the “myRA” program in his last term in office which served the same purpose as these “trump accounts”, except myRA could be used by low income adults too which received government subsidies to encourage personal contributions. Also the investments were in government bonds, not stocks.

    trump took office in 2016 and canceled myRA 6 months after.
