sigh

You provide an essential service. Do it well. And have big plans for how to spend the money grateful people donate. And some "journalist" gets paid $25 to write an article that questions... well... the wording of ads in economically depressed countries...?

Sheesh.

I'm so tired of articles claiming that someone doesn't deserve the money they have made. Like there is some moral rule that is broken that if you are doing something good, you can't be doing well, or your good is tainted.

It's so... pathetic. And it plays into the hands of the oligarchs perfectly... keep the littles nit-picking at each other so they don't notice you just spent $40 bn on another boat. Cripes.
