Mackenzie Scott's blog post on her $7.2 billion in annual giving is worth reading in full. Her observations are even more stark when you consider her ex, who doesn't seem to have the same appetite to give or even fund the newsroom he owns: yieldgiving.com/essays/we-ar...

The last few times I visited LA I carried my passport with me due to concerns with ICE. Some thought this was crazy.
