Yesterday

Someone donates $1 million (at least, that we know of, people) and here are DUers collectively shitting on it because it's somehow not enough. Really doesn't matter who it is or what their worth is.

It's a singular incident, maybe the first of many, maybe the last of a thousand. Fact is, it's a million bucks to feed people.

Those purity tests are a bitch I guess. Nah, just shut the fuck up.
