i think the thing that makes me angriest about the entire culture of people being forced to set up online fundraisers for things like medical treatments and basic necessities is that at least 99% of the people who donate are people who are ALSO struggling but just slightly less, people who think “well i was saving this $20 for lunch this week but this person who needs chemo could probably use it more”, while a single billionaire could fund every online fundraiser in existence and not even notice a dent in their wealth
It is a scientifically proven fact that poor people are overwhelmingly more compassionate than rich people. This has been repeatedly shown by numerous studies over the years, and it’s honestly fucking disgusting.
The hypothetical billionaire in the OP’s statement has a choice between helping their fellow human beings – a choice will not negatively affect their daily standard of living at all, I should mention – and literally eating gold for no fucking reason other than for the sake of eating gold, and you know that they’re going to choose to eat the fucking gold every fucking time.
Eat the fucking rich.
