That's the equivalent of an average American donating 100 dollars, which for the average American is already a lot to spend all at once without preparing for the expense.
Yeah, but I’m almost exactly at that median where my household net worth is $100 and if me donating that portion of my worth could possibly keep multiple hundreds of people out of homelessness, I’d do it every month, not, like, once.

No matter how hard or smart you work, you have not earned multiple billions. People at his company aren’t paid well. They’re underpaid for their work. Who takes the money saved by not paying them fairly? He does. He and the other higher ups. Who takes the money saved by avoiding taxes fairly owed to the public? He does.
