On Monday, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg promoted the social media giant’s new Facebook Spaces app, which allows users to remotely cast cartoon avatars of themselves walking around locations in the real world, by taking a “magical” tour of Puerto Rico.

Specifically, Zuckerberg toured parts of the commonwealth still devastated from Hurricane Maria—which has left the vast majority of the island with destroyed infrastructure, no electricity and massive storm damage—via an Oculus Rift headset. While Zuckerberg was attempting to explain how Spaces related to the company’s relief efforts after major disasters, the whole thing is a tonal mess resembling nothing more than rubbernecking and disaster tourism
 
That seems like a very odd choice by Mr. Mark Zuckerberg. He does talk for awhile in the weird magical tour about charity options for Puerto Rico and what they are doing to help and what more people can do. Although it kind of doubles down on being a douche to do this and then point out what you did charity wise. But I assume most businesses do charity work for tax write offs and their public image.

Seriously? Zuckerburg has a fantastic reputation as a philanthropist. So what he used a crisis charity for business promotion. Are you worried he'll make more money off of it to give to needing causes?

Loggrad has a history of complainin bout Facebook. This is like listenin ta a ex-Mormon ranting about LDS church.

He's also becoming a leftist version of the Koch Brothers. I'm not the type who cares about rich people trying to influence elections (they balance each other out), but if you're going to complain about one then you should hold the same standard for the other.

They balance each other out? How? Do you have a source to cite that shows this?

I don't think both sides balance each other out at all.

Typically the right attacks unions and professors as being the big "funders" of the DNC. Ok. Fine.

But the right receives aid primarily from Wall Street, Big Oil, and overwhelmingly from business owners. The GOP's own platform is more business/rich friendly, (anti-regulation, anti-estate tax, anti-environment). It's one of the main reasons why the GOP was so successful in the industrialized north during the Civil War. The GOP has always been tied to banks, industry, and rich people. That's how they smothered the south. Factories, railroads, and industries married the GOP during the Civil War and together they worked to toppled the Confederacy. That's why Teddy Roosevelt's assault of the rich establishment in the early 1900s was so extraordinary. It was only in the desperation of The Great Depression and WWII that big business conceded to giving up some wealth and power to "the little guys."

Although the majority of the east coast now identifies with the DNC (you can thank the Civil Rights Act of 1964), the top still support overwhelmingly the GOP.

Exxonmobil alone can donate 100x more than all of the unions in the nation combined. The Kochs routinely pledge $1 billion per election cycle. Unions, environmentalists, hollywood entertainers, blue-collar workers, educators, scientists, etc can't compete with that.

Now you add that the right is receiving aid from Russia? Yikes.

You should probably watch and learn from how the Party of Lincoln has devolved into the Party of Trump.
