Actually this is depressing news.
Elaboration by request: It's a tiny amount of money that only sounds like a lot to the 99%. Relative to his wealth, this post is a sad reminder of the dragon's-hoard of wealth he still has and the desolation caused by aquiring it. I want to eat this whole mother fucker and I'd settle for like half, but I am certainly not uplifted by a bite of pinky toe.
Edit: Okay, it's uplifting that he is saying this and encouraging good citizenship. It's a paltry amount and I won't be pleased by it.
No one asked you to be pleased about the entirety of the situation. Just look at an individual action by an individual person. It's a step in a direction that sucks marginally less than the one we're in. It's a slap in the face to the ones too ashamed or greedy to do ANYTHING positive.
Should he do more? Yeah. It's the same argument that I hold against Taylor Swift recently - She's doing good things, and that should be acknowledged, but she's still a billionaire, and you quite simply cannot get to that level without human rights exploitation.
Neither of these things washes the other away. We can accept them both, give praise where it's due, and also give criticism where it's due.
Yeah, you're right.
He's leading with example.
Yes I can see where comparing one's circumstances to him and we're just a bunch of broke MF, but the bigger picture is he's paying and not afraid of saying anything about that.
I suppose, that's nice of him to say, somewhat uplifting after all.
Would you like to elaborate? Or just gonna drop 5 words, no context, and walk away?
You can add Internet Pigeon to your bird sighting logs. Like a regular pigeon, this kind flies in, shits on everything, and flies away.
Man, I've had that on my life list for years... They make this god awful screeching call, and they seem to be everywhere
Screeeeeeeeee. 🐦⬛
