Problems with relying on billionaires to save us

I'd say the main issue is that not a single one of them cares about our problems and never will, even if they have a charity that makes them look like saviors.

That's a puzzling empirical claim. Why would no billionaires care about other people's problems?

And why should they? Are billionaires responsible for your problems?

Exactly, so relying on them in some hope they fix something is a bad idea.

I don't see how anyone is forced to rely on billionaires, and if anything I'd rather rely on a billionaire than on a politician: one of the two has actually done something.
