If you’re asking about the photo, I believe that’s a screenshot of Oprah and The Rock, who are a billionaire and a multi-millionaire, asking people to donate for the Maui fires.
Which isn't inherently wrong if they have donated themselves. They have a massive audience they can reach out to. I think people just like shitting on rich people. Which is fine they can take it.
The full story, which has been thoroughly litigated elsewhere, suggests that they haven't actually been as generous as they want credit for being.
But also yes let's please continue shitting on rich people.
Definitely doesn't help that Oprah literally bought at least 90% of an entire Hawaiian island but can't seem to find a way to donate to Maui
Only how the economy is so rough that the capitalist class barely earned enough money in the budget to increase their wages by 20% this quarter from $37 million to $44 million
