    Some ass will come along bitching about billionaires not giving enough. An Indian proverb comes to mind.

    Man is rich. Gives a $1 to every poor person he sees. Is no longer rich, can no longer help. Becomes poor.

      A BILLIONAIRE giving away 5 million is pocket change.

      I applaud her for doing anything, but a BILLIONAIRE won’t be broke doing this.

        …because person has hoarded over 2,000 times what multiple people earn during their lifetimes and continues to hoard more and more…because person takes personal visits in their private plane that cause more pollution than 500 average people in the same wealthy country, who are also polluting too much. She’s a better person than Musk by a mile, but she should still be shit on for her bad behaviors. As should all of us when we’re wasteful
