I feel the opposite, that it's gotten a lot more attention (if not positive then at least sympathetic) than most other any similar act in recent decades. Then again, I don't dive too deep into the internet poo poo anymore, mostly for my own sanity.

Same, I think it's gotten a lot of attention and they're trying to downplay it. poo poo like this doesn't happen in the US, they don't even know how to handle anything new so it's automatically placed in the sorting bin of "mental illness". My cousins in Egypt as with probably other Arab countries were shocked, but apparently it does get conveniently placed as mental disorder there as well. The Arab spring pretty much began not long after Mohamed Bouazazi self immolated and he's one of the major catalysts, it's something they immediately like to try to sweep under the rug

Musk, in his own moronic way, is correct. Scott could be giving money to people starving to death but she is making donations like 5 million to the north California girl scouts. Her priorities are insane.

Here is the list of her donations.

they would send the money back because when gifts are taxed it’s in the hands of the giver, not the recipient

and even then not if both parties are US citizens/PRs and the giver is under the $12M lifetime exemption

The IRS has an inheritance tax imposed on donees when the donor is a 'covered expatriate'. :pseudo:

But the epitome of western civilization is also the thing killing it. You are right about the first part though.

You missed three zeroes in your math. 18,000 per us citizen would be 6.12 trillion, not billion, dollars lol

If you split 5.5 billion between every American citizen, it would be $16.20 for each of us. Which would still be pretty cool

There was a study that gave the equivalent of $5,000 to a bunch of homeless people, and most of them were able to use the money to get jobs and stable housing.

5000 bucks to me, a fairly stable kinda sorta middle class person would be a huge help and make a long term difference. To an actually struggling person it would be a life changing amount of money.

To a genuinely rich person it wouldn't even be a noticeable sum.

They heavily reported this one particular single mom who spent that small windfall on taking her family on a nice vacation ('I blew all it on a trip') because it was the kind of vacation they'd never be able to afford in their life, and by cushy middle class standards not really that extravagant; how far does 5 grand go for a family of 4 to go to Disney World for 7 days? Of course reactionaries had a field day with it and used it as evidence that black people are too stupid to support themselves because they didn't invest it in... What, exactly? A few more months worth of rent? A 20 year old car? Braces for one of their four kids that needs it?
