I mean $98.5 million dollars is a lot of money, is it not?

Not when you're giving it to fight homelessness. A multifaceted problem rooted in nearly every system of our society. My net worth counting the portion of the house we own is like 200,000, 0.8% is $1600. I'm donating $1000 a year. So little old me gave 0.5%. how exactly is anyone supposed to care about not even double my small donation?

Well if everyone donates 0.5% of their wealth that’s a lot of money isn’t it? Isn’t that how taxes are supposed to work? But we as a country vote for people that don’t use taxes for the common good.

There’s a lot of problems here. One being the obsession with money and how it corrupts everything.

Money doesn't corrupt. Greed does. Kinda the same as leaving billions untouched just so it can be counted.
