Dell has been a pretty interesting guy to watch. Once Warren Buffet came out and nuked how “The Giving Pledge” was a colossal failure and he was pulling out and exposed its issues I have been waiting to see who would do something. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see some more things like this occur because the PR is good and it just plain benefits people
I reserve a large dose of skepticism for the genius of the Oracle of Omaha, and not being from the US, I'm pretty ignorant on this history between them. But seeing Dell put there money where their mouth is reinvigorates my hope for humanity.
Europe and the UK seem pretty close to circling the drain of civilization, and I'm not aware of any examples of companies that would dream of similar initiatives. The dialogue between government and industry doesn't even seem to exist.
Benefitting the future of a nation, shows the world that corporations can straddle the fence of self-interest and at least invest back into itself through future generations. My hat's off.
For some reason when I read this I wasn't surprised that it's Dell that's doing this. Can't say I know much about them, other than they are nowhere near the size of some of the largest in tech, and makes me wonder why you haven't seen similar industry leaders that grew in the US to 10-100X Dell's market cap, make a similar gesture.
