Giving again

If you had a million dollars to give away, who would you give it to? – I answered this daily question last year in a post called Give It and I wouldn’t change much about those designated to receive that money.

What troubles me is that the need is greater than last year for most people. That just isn’t right. The wealth distribution in this country is way out of whack. And it could be one of the downfalls of this country in the future.

I remember the days when a million seemed like an incredible sum of money. Google tells me that there are over 3000 billionaires in the world and over 900 in the US. And the way the greed of the top 3 (Elon, Jeff and Mark) they probably have the goal of Trillionaire’s. And it would make me very happy if all three of them lost their asses.

I already boycott Musk and Bezos. In my mind I’m not supporting a madman and a gutless individual. And I’m about to pull my plug on Meta also.

I’m not sure how this is all going to work out because our government seems intent on consolidating wealth to a very few. I guess that they forget that the middle and lower classes aren’t going to stand for this much longer.

The first step is to clear this administration out and then a lot of the other side who is just as incompetent as the other side is. A bunch of morons who forgot who they were sent there to serve. Well, there is a solution for that. Get to the voting booth.

And to the huge voting block out there who isn’t registered or too lazy to vote. Wake the F up and vote you idiots, or you get what you get and don’t complain because you don’t have a RIGHT TO.

On a personal note. Screw you Jeff Bezos for running the Washington Post into the ground and killing it. You had a chance to do something right in your life again and blew it. Fine job you moron.

Sorry about the rant. I dislike greedy people.

Give it

If you had a million dollars to give away, who would you give it to? – Interesting question from the daily writing prompt.

Okay, I would split some up between the charities I like. The V Foundation, American Cancer Society, Red Cross, The Maryland Food Bank, The Chesapeake Bay Foundation.

Some towards supporting struggling Veterans. Some for a local animal rescue. Oh, I forget World Central Kitchen.

I always thought it would be fun to do that Secret Santa type action. Find people in need who are working hard and struggling at holiday time and throughout the year and make a difference for them and their children.

Maybe go to poorer neighborhoods, talk with the churches and merchants about the good people struggling and just randomly pay for peoples groceries. Or maybe some struggling with medical bills.

I think there is a saying about helping one person can have a snowball effect. So a million dollars would help a lot of people and maybe they would help a lot more.

Homeless but not helpless.
