You don't know me or my work at all, but thanks. Also poor, btw. You're clearly looking for a fight over this and as someone who had to evacuate from a 1million+ acre wildfire that surrounded my poor rural town this year, I can understand where you're coming from. Thanks for your input

I'm literally talking about people who clearly are well-off. You're making an emotional reaction and trying to paint my point as something I haven't said at all. I see you're hurting, and this conversation does not appear to be going anywhere. I stand by my point.

Sure, but again you miss the point. That some people who until now had a house and were doing well can just casually reach out and ask for and get 40k within hours of crisis while others struggle to get $200 to get food is something that needs to be critically examined. 40k is life-changing money

Again, I'm not talking about those people. I'm talking SPECIFICALLY about rich white people getting funded thousands of dollars while I see fundmes for homeless people, often bipoc and queer and trans, going unfunded. I'm talking about something specific and not what you're talking about

I'll repeat, I'm not talking about the average person, I'm talking about people posting 40k funded gofundmes with photos of their house with a babygrand piano in it. Also I have family in LA, and I've definitely been there

Losing your home to a fire as any identity or level of wealth isn't ideological by itself outside of the system that caused it bringing the damage to everyone regardless of background, but what happens after to those people certainly is. The MANY gofundmes I'm seeing do not appear to be poor people.

Obviously not, but these are photos of people in nice houses and nice clothes that are mostly middle aged white people. I'm not saying that I know their circumstances or that they don't deserve help, but getting 30-40k funded in hours when gofundmes i see for homeless people can barely get $500...

My brother was stuck on an island in a flood that nobody ever fixed. Gaza is gone.
It was 100 degrees so often this year that I go out to pee in boots and underwear only and my skin consumes a cold that still exists in the world.
