Hell, I don’t care if I’m involved going forward. The point was many could sacrifice very little for the greater good. Many have posted they don’t need the relatively small cash distribution. Ok. Instead of spending it on entertainment, or giving it back (lol), offer it to a local foundation run by people who give a damn.
I don't like Go Fund Me's. I think they often do not reach the intended recipients and I think people can financially support those directly who need.
