The post you&#x27;re responding to never said this essay deserved criticism. It said it&#x27;s good people aren&#x27;t taking it at face value and are being critical of it. They are not the same thing.<p>Being critical of the <i>claim</i> to donate 45 billion dollars is pretty natural. First, they didn&#x27;t say 45 billion, they said a percentage of their worth which right now is 45 billion dollars. You would have a very strong point if they had just delivered the check for 45 billion dollars and people were criticizing it.<p>But they didn&#x27;t do that. They wrote a post on the internet saying they&#x27;re going to give away their money sometime in their lifetime.
