  Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives

  I wouldn’t start a go fund me for groceries. If I can’t afford them, then I don’t expect anyone who would give enough of a shit to donate to a go fund me for my groceries, can either.

    I was curious, so I looked him up. Apparently, he is estimated at $50 million. That’s way more than enough to retire, but i will say I was kind of shocked at how low it was. Guess I just expect to see these people in the hundreds. Who knows, it is just an estimate.

  The GoFundMe CEO hopes younger donors, who are often more values-driven, digitally native, and community-oriented, will push giving higher and faster.

  He doesn’t want the bad situation to get better, just make his company more money.
