Oprah and Dwayne team up to fundraise for Maui via instagram. They immediately start getting flamed in the comments.

A billionaire with a bowl in hand . Maui is Oprah’s community. She owns the most land on the island. You mean to tell me this rich bytch can’t foot the bill?

I just saw The Rock’s donated $5m to Maui and he’s still getting cooked in his IG comments. People are so damn miserable and don’t actually care about the people that need help, otherwise they wouldn’t be turning this into a polarizing issue.

What are they saying about him??? they do know rock is half samoan that nikka love his samoan side of his family...

I’m paraphrasing but people are saying things along the lines of “If you can donate $5m then that means you have friends that can do the same. So why are you are asking us to donate?!”

This world is finished

I mean they have a point... no one that lost everything should be asked to donate... they already cash strapped as is... that's like jeff bezos asking me to go half on a food bill at an expensive resturant when im broke im gonna be a bit salty about it...

Remember 2010 for Haiti

Since the 2010 earthquake, $6 billion has been disbursed in official aid to help the people of Haiti. Nearly all of it has gone to intermediaries such as international non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and private contractors. Yet there has been a surprising lack of reporting on how the money has been spent.

when this happened we had a big argument over this over on another board. you had one group of people saying to make sure you do your due diligence on where you're sending your money to and to make sure you don't send it to the Red Cross, etc. because that money won't get to the people.

and then of course you had the other "Now is not the time for this..." side.

i wonder if the same kinda discussion was had here

No one’s being forced, or even shamed into donating though. It‘s simply an appeal anyone that feels compelled to help in some way.

Also, it seems like people forget that other rich people follow him too. What’s stopping one of them from feeling compelled to donate after seeing his post?

No you bytch ass nikka I wasn't in the band but I beat ya moms on the reg

Goofy troop ass nikka talking bout "vibes" like a white bytch!

Corny white boy school ass nikka.

 

[Blackgate]

If everybody decided they wanted to help and donated and the fund collected about 500 million do people believe that the “people in need” would get to split 500 million dollars?

I get it but people are angry any line of victims should donate should be reworded... IJS

What she does with her money is her fukking money
It’s funny how you nikkas operate
One minute don’t pocket watch
Now you watching her pockets because of her wealth
Nobody owes you shyt or any part of their wealth in this world
Just because she has it doesn’t mean she has to foot the whole bill
People are always talking humanity this and humanity that
These people are donating money(which 9/10 they can write off) and they still getting persecuted while nikkas like you and the rest of thecoli 6 figga dumb dumbs twiddle their fingers on a gotdamn me message board
If disaster struck your immediate area and you had it like that
Would you foot the whole bill
That’s a rhetorical question
We all know you nikkas ain’t really got the bread y’all claim
Thats why that Mexican nikka finessed y’all

 

[IIVI]

I got nothing against helping these people either and do think people should be donating, people are miserable and complaining and that ain't a good look.

That said, the government should done have started the rebuild process right now as they're probably pulling in $4-5 trillion of taxes this year.

SOI Tax Stats - IRS Data Book | Internal Revenue Service

Look here for the IRS Data Book (Publication 55B), with links to prior IRS Data Books. The tables shown in these publications contain statistics for IRS collections and refunds, as well as number of returns. There's also information on examination activities, taxpayer assistance, chief counsel...

www.irs.gov

• During Fiscal Year (FY) 2022, the IRS collected more than $4.9 trillion in gross taxes, processed more than 262.8 million tax returns and other forms, and issued more than $641.7 billion in tax refunds.

Either this year or next year that'll be $6 trillion, watch. Where the fukk is all the money going?!?! Should be an enormous pile for Maui on the way there.
