The amount of people hating on Oprah for donating $5 million as direct cash to people who lost their homes, no strings-attached, because it's not enough, because she's a billionaire who should donate even more, is truly ridiculous. Usually when a disaster happens, we come together to help each other out. Now if a billionaire is one of those people who wants to help, they either need to do it all themselves or not at all? And the rest of us shouldn't donate to help people even if we want to help, because a billionaire exists and they should do it? Unless they don't do it, and then we should?? Inequality has grown so extreme that we should just rely on billionaires, and if they do help, fuck them because it's not enough, because they're billionaires, and if they don't help, fuck them because they're billionaires and they should help? If billionaires are fucked if they do and fucked if they don't, why should they donate anything at all? Seems to make more sense to encourage billionaires to donate, and despite being thankful for those donations, tax them a lot more too. Also can we get an unconditional basic income floor up in here too, so that we're not all so goddamn angry all the time thanks to being stressed the fuck out about trying to survive? Certainly would be nice to feel a bit of peace versus constant anger. Also, screw the algorithms that are feeding this outrage machine and bringing out the worst in everyone for maximum engagement.
