You could have donated to a children's Hospital, which the Republicans are about to cut off all funding to with the government shutdown and again in a few months when DOGE cuts 2.5 Trillion in funding for hospitals, healthcare, research, infrastructure, etc.
Instead you're making sure some random killer gets peanut butter and crackers for the next 30 years. SMH
Go bitch at a billionaire to donate to the children’s hospital
Got his email?
There’s this guy who runs this shitty renamed social media site I bet you could easily reach out to
Oh please, that guy is begging the users for money. Blood from a stone.
The worlds richest man is begging for money???? Lololololol excuses
there's a reason he's that rich...
It’s not from begging lol
not literally no, but when you refuse to spend any of your actual money. That's how you get that rich.
Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out.
He’s rich because he started with daddy’s slave money and then continued to exploit labor and natural resources to get to his position in life.
No! NOOOOO! He's smart!!! He's smaaaaaaaaart 🤡 how else could he have that much money if he wasn't #1 big brain of all time?!?!
Sorry I thought you were talking about Trump's Truth Social. The humour isn't lost on me that your highly specific innuendo wasn't clear enough lol.
If we're talking about Elon Musk...? Then I get the feeling the anti-tax dude who just elected the Republican majority and whose family ran bloody emerald mines in Africa would be willing to donate, I think I'm better off here reaching out to all of you.
I'll write something nice up if you've got that email, though.
I’m sorry why should I be “donating” to a fucked up system when I could support deposing those who run this system?
Sounds like musk is a great candidate to be thrown into a volcano next. Or maybe we should just send him to mars one way, he’d like that.
You would be donating directly to a fucked up nonprofit Hospital who treats terminal children, with no insurance middleman. There is not supposed to be incentive to this. This is something people should be open to doing.
There’s also the answer of why not both
Ones too yucky for a liberal.
If you gave a dollar to the Jailhouse commissary and a dollar to St Judes then I commend you, absolutely, but everyone would be better off if you gave $2 to St Jude.
