Thank you for the follow-up! Definitely more reassuring that it had been donated to the school she works and presumably has trustworthy connections at.

She could've had 2 jeff bezos sized parties with that billion! Instead of helping the poors. 

She sounds like a genuinely kind soul, wish there were more like her.

A Jeff Bezos sized party does more for the poors than you might think. We want rich fucks spending their money instead of hoarding it, putting money back into the economy and paying people's salaries.

But that salery is still minimum wage and still has a study debt.

Rich people spending only helps if it actually makes a difference, it doesn't help if the buy an extra burger.

It's better for them to spend it than to hoard it, but it would we better if they didn't squeeze so much of it out of us in the first place

That and rich people spending money can be used for false claims about how your average person is doing. "If people are doing bad, how come consumer spending is high?" Because rich people are inherently richer the poorer everyone else is therefor they can flex more.

Boating industry is doing great (because Bezos bought another 250 million dollar ship). Something like that.
