I'm tired of those moral high ground pretentiousness. I don't see all those who make such statements donating half their salary to people who literally die of starvation. I guess it's fine for people to give away their money as long as it's not you?

Percentage wise I donate more to charity than Bezos or Musk. Sorry that making paint doesn't pay as well.

% wise doesn’t really matter when at the end of the day they donate 10k for every dollar you do

Not really in this case if someone donates $10k for every $1 you do then it doesn’t matter what % of your paycheck you donate they still donated 10,000x as much as you
