alt Hacker NewsCognitive dissonance. How can you say with a straight face “profit above all else” and then also concede the huge philanthropy?
Americans and the US as a whole are the most charitable in the world.
The data does not lie.

Yeah because it includes lobbies and turbo billionaire pastors from texas using "charity" money to buy rolls royces as well as other highly retarded """charities""" that aren't even legal in the rest of the developed world
It's only cognitive dissonance if you look at the "US as a whole".
Americans can be charitable individually, but that does not contradict the reality that US corporate and institutional structures operate on a strict "profit above all else" mandate.
