A band-aid on a carotid gusher, and just a case of Conspicuous Charity.

Dear that guy. I too am here.

Literally everyone else who's in massive debt because of student loans and not being at the right college at the right time: Guess I'll die.

Paying off parasites encourages parasitism

CheekyBreeki
Ah yes the classic parasite, young person earning a higher education qualification.
tpgreyknight
It's not the students he's paying off… do you need a lie-down?
CheekyBreeki
Oh yeah sorry I misread. To be fair it wasn't written very clearly as to who exactly was the parasite.
tpgreyknight
If you want well-thought-out writing, then we'll have to go to some website where the comments don't have an unnecessary character count

Capitalism done right.
CheekyBreeki
Relying on individual acts of compassion isn't a great system.
Bananamilkcereal
No. You're looking at it wrong. The people did not need his help. He chose to do it because of his wealth. Good capitalism.
CheekyBreeki
Yes...HE chose, not the system. The system shouldn't allow these students to be in crippling debt in the first place.
Bananamilkcereal
Aha! Correct. And that's not capitalism's fault. That is government intervention.
CheekyBreeki
So the economic system that facilitates organisations exploiting anyone and everyone isn't at fault? Okay buddy.
Davoneous
That is awesome of him, and he’s a good man for doing it. But a system where it is even necessary seems inherently broken.

Boom. Just like the magical money these billionaires produce for Notre Dame in a matter of minutes. They had this money lying around
Volpe42
There is no such thing as a free lunch, someone has to pay
Davoneous
Sure, but there’s a difference between having to work for it and being strapped with hundreds of thousands in debt.
Volpe42
So what you are saying is that other people should have to work and be in debt for your education?
Davoneous
You mean like we have to work to bail out banks and buy CEO’s multi million dollar yachts with our taxes? Yes. That’s what I’m saying.
Volpe42
Really I should have said for you to go to college and party
