I just don’t see why it’s shocking.
Flint been in the news since Obama was president...THREE YEARS AGO.
Notre dame is an 800 year old world relic that is literally impossible for people to imagine not being a part of France.
Let’s pretend oh, 700 years from now (if humanity isn’t extinct lol but let’s play pretend) that the Statue of Liberty - a symbol of New York City - is on fire and gets severely damaged. Would you be shocked that a bunch of American trillionaires throw money at something closer to home - considered a world marvel - than they have in a foreign nation with a water issue?
One problem is that a lot of these numbers you’re bringing doesn’t account for WHO is sending the money. Most of the rich people sending the money are (you guessed it) FRENCH.
Even before the smoke had cleared, luxury goods magnate Francois-Henri Pinault announced his family would donate 100 million euros ($112 million)Not to remain on the sidelines, his rival Bernard Arnault — the chief executive of LVMH and the richest man in Europe — pledged twice that amount on Tuesday morning. The Bettencourt Meyers family, which controls L’Oreal, quickly matched that pledge. And Patrick Pouyanne, chief of executive of French oil giant Total, offered another $112 million.

Rich Frenchies donating to the restoration of a national treasure?! I WONDER WHY.
This is why modern social justice is dog shit. The social media outrage is dog shit. Why Twitter is (mostly) dog shit.
Just spout a number like 600 million as if all the worlds billionaires got together for this thing when, if you look closely, most are French.
More outrage.
More tears from 20 year autistics.
