Matt Damon’s charity has reached 92 million people with clean water

Good man! (I just got one of those hoodies, lol)

“How do we address the environmental consequences of unrestrained capitalism?”

“Buy a hoodie and a Starbucks drink.”

I guess pushing Vincent Chase as hard as he did worked

water insecurity is far more common than you think, actually. my city, for a long time, had like 1/4 of the population with no sewage system and interrupted water supply (like idk, 3/4 million people?)

i lived in a neighborhood like this for a decade, it was a very average lower middle class area, but bad admin and expensive intervention meant we had to collect rainwater and time our usage because we would only get two or three days of water a week and our tank wasn’t too big

this is bad for many reasons, including obviously parasites, but issues like insane dust during drought periods, it was awful whenever anyone got sick and we couldn’t run the washing machine, etc etc

now that i’ve moved across town, while i still control my water usage because of the bills, it’s insane to be able to do laundry or wash my hair whenever

Damon just bought an $8.5 million home in Bedford, NY (Westchester). His university friend ran for office in Bedford in 2024 as a MAGA republican whom Matt endorsed (he lost to the Democrat). He also bought the top two floors of the Standish in Brooklyn Heights NY for $18 million and has a $7 million condo in Los Angeles.

Hollywood is not “liberal”, many of them are fiscally conservative as they want the tax breaks. This is PR – a nice tax write off that gives them a shiny face for the public, yet at the end of the day it will always be about money.

I worked in the industry 07-10 in Los Angeles and grew up in those circles. I’m sorry and as much as it pains me to state it’s the truth. Money is all that matters in the end.

“Matt Damon recorded a video endorsing his close friend and former Harvard roommate, Clark Petschek, who ran as the Republican and Bedford United candidate for Bedford Town Justice in New York. Petschek”
