Philanthropy doesn't actually do anything to address the issues in tangible terms. Not only that, but the problems that it's meant to address are actually caused by the very people using philanthropy as PR for themselves. https://news.stanford.edu/stories/2018/12/the-problems-with-philanthropy
That's quite possible, rich businesses have a quite extensive history of poisoning environment.
The best is when they make more money setting up charities to slightly address issues they created
The poor are the product of the free market operating. The free market is what's creating the problem in the first place.

A strawman that may actually be true, given how much poison the rich have dumped into our environment.
