I get it, he's upset that other people gave more of their money to something that they care about, rather than what he cares about.

Obviously you don't get it. But then reading what people actually write has never been something you've been good at.

If I'm wrong, feel free to state the real reason you're upset.

I'm afraid spoon-feeding retarded people isn't on my to-do list today.

This building is beyond insured for Allah knows how much money.

People just want recognition for donating to the repair.

Nobody gets recognition for donating one hundred million dollars to fight poverty, famine, and homelessness.

I'm sure the Macron assured generous tax breaks for donors have something to do with it too.

IOW, I was right.

I'm sure you are in your mind.

I do agree that poverty and war are far more important issues to tackle than this building.

However, you can't force people to care about things that they don't care about.

Hard Left Celebrates Notre Dame’s Destruction: ‘I’m Dying At All The White People Triggered’

*smh*

People, people, the 1 billion raised to rebuild Notre Dame absolutely pales in comparison to the money being spent to combat poverty, food/water insecurity, etc. Don’t get your panties all in a bunch.

Things like how half a billion people live with chronic water scarcity year round and half the planet with it for at least 1 month per year.

The fact the current rate of species extinction is as high as 1000x the natural background extinction rate.

Or that the global sustainability institute is predicting a massive collapse in agricultural productivity within 20 years without massive investment in new technologies and implementation of genetic engineering.

If more rich people could at least modify their activities to actively fight the bigger problems in our decade it would be very appreciated. I'm not talking about donations, I'm talking about industries willingly abandoning toxic pratices that make them save a dime and give them bigger margins.

None of this problems are solely about money, many of them have to do with corruption, competition and lack of tranparency in many professional activities. Also some small companies would get strangled if they had to suddenly become compliant to a new ruling that limits ecological damage and pollution of seas/crops. You cannot go around telling peoople "hey, now you can't survive with your activity, guess you have to work at a loss", their margins would need to be revised without their own workers being thrown into poverty.

Obviously compared to that rebuilding a church is a very short term and simple tasks that rich people can feel good about and validate their actions as passingly generous. Pretty much all the glory with none of the responsability

Good post, Bent

At the very least don't be a douche and do things like buy ice cream with edible gold flakes in it that cost like $800 a scoop. That's just a dick move.

Oh shit, that actually is a thing.
