I would ask of "them" that perhaps they should ask why the many Billionaires of Arab decent that live in the ME are not offering help to rebuild these sites?
Like I said there are some that would complain about a free lunch.
One last note. Is Salma Hayek at 52 still a hottie or what?
Here’s the difference those who think that if the billionaires gave that money to the poor we could get rid of poverty don’t get - if you donate a $100 million to rebuild Notre Dame once they use the money to fix it, it’s fixed, but if you donate the same amount “to help the poor” once the money is used to feed them or whatnot, as soon as the money is spent they will need as much or more to fix it again in a very short time. One can be fixed by money and you will see a tangible outcome, the other will merely be patched by money and it will be difficult to see how the money made an actual difference.
