#1 Just a helping hand. St-Laurent headed up Pivotal Ventures for Bill and Melinda. Lovely initiative, I'm sure you'll agree. There really should be no additional questions regarding this couple's politics or future goals and objectives.

#4 Link at #1 is a riot.

Where is the Hannah Mouncey character class in the diverse grrrl power collage? Is that chick making a sandwich?

We need to be equal, so long as when I don't work I still get paid.

#5 Why would anyone give this. “charity” a dime, but it sure shows what a grifter Meghan is and what a nitwit Harry has become. Clearly his fathers child.

#6 OK, I admit I clicked on the link on #1. I found that Pivotal Ventures "Together, we grow understanding around issues, expand participation, encourage cooperation and fuel new approaches that substantially improve people's lives."

What does that even mean?????

#8 /\ You feel righteous and get a tax write-off by buying our indulgences -- we get to enjoy our phony baloney charity, so Win-Win!

#9 Ref #6: "Together, we grow understanding around issues, expand participation, encourage cooperation and fuel new approaches that substantially improve people's lives." What does that even mean?????

It means the ignorant rubes of the world (read that - everybody but the elite) must stop producing new rubes. PV, Bill & Melinda, and the former Royals will guide the way !

#10 The situation boils down to we have some of the worst "betters" in all of history.

#11 Link at #1 is a riot.

Did Bill turn in his man card? Did he ever even have one?

#12 ok, I had to check out the link and agree, the mission statement is gibberish, Sure sounds pretty. I will keep my donations at home, however.

#13 "the duke and duchess write"

They are not anymore a duke and a duchess.

#14 They are still duke and duchess of Sussex. What they are not, at least for a year, is royal highnesses. Whether they regain that particular title will depend on decisions made later.
