      I mean, as much as I think gates/bezos have abhorrent business practices, they do both have fairly large charitable foundations, and iirc, both have actually built literal hospitals with their money.

      Totally not a setup, lol. Have you ever been in the hospital industry behind the scenes? I bet the Zuck wants access to the people’s data and/or funneling money through it somehow.

          Well yeah, of course lives will be affected but I meant more literally, as in people potentially dying.

          He didn’t build it, but yea his name is on it because of his money. Not that PR money means he has morals. Although, it is a hospital for real human people, not other lizard types.

          Yes, it really was renamed after the Zuckerbergs, as buildings sometimes are at the request of a large donator seeking posterity.

          See Wikipedia:

          In November 2008, San Francisco voters approved an $887.4 million general obligation bond for the General Hospital rebuild, work began in 2009, and was expected to be finished in 2015.

          In 2015, Facebook founder and CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, and his wife Priscilla Chan gave $75 million to help fund equipment and technology for the new hospital.
