hot take why do celebrities start initiatives to raise money for charity when they could just. give money to charity themselves? it’s like when Walmart asks if I want to round up to feed hungry kids… like why don’t u do it??? I’m barely feeding myself…

Walmart already donated; it’s for tax write off purposes. You’re just paying for their donation when they ask you to do that. Essentially just giving them more money

It’s a way to promote themselves and promote their lifestyle which is philanthropy and charity work. Idk though. Just throwing it out there.

why does walmart pay poverty wages while the walton’s are one of the richest families in the world? they literally have seminars to teach their workers how to apply for government benefits.

the money you donate to the round up fund at walmart or anywhere else is collected by walmart then donated by walmart. then they are able to put on their taxes that they donated a certain amount which gives them credit meaning they have to pay less. they are not doing a good thing with the round up system they are just trying to pay less taxes
