I am barely surviving.
I feel you. Me too.
That's why it's good that people are donating to funds like these. Celebs donate big amounts. Even if it's less that 1% of their worth. Who cares? It's 10mil, that's a lot of money and can do a lot of good.
My point was, I notice the people who screech about celebs not donating enough either don't donate themselves or wouldn't even consider donating the percentage of their money that they feel these people should be donating. It's hypocritical.
The rock is a good person, he's worked to get where he is. He's entitled to his money just like every other Tom, dick and harry is.
As much as I dislike shitty rich people, looking at you Elon, it's still their money. And if we screech about how they should spend their money, it's only fair that we can then be told how to use ours too. Would it be nice if people like him used money for good, yes of course. But end of the day, it's their money to do with as they choose. And even a donation that isn't huge to them, is huge to others in need. So it shouldn't be complained about. It should be seen as good.
It's simple: I also worked where I am (arguably harder than a movie star) and I don't have a fucking mansion and 10 million to throw at charities.
It's not fair so don't expect us to treat them fairly.
If you think making movies is so easy, then go and do it.
If it's way easier than what you do then it shouldn't be that difficult right?
Oh ffs you know what I mean, stop that.
You can't force people to learn.
All we can do it try.
Hope y'all have a great day!
Please stop mocking the rock. for the love of Pete and everything that is holy, please leave the fact he makes more on a single movie than most of the small towns and villages of the area are worth. Oh please stop mocking the rich and super well off whoa are asking everyone to give money they could give themselves in, but only want to give so much.
How is rock going to be rich if he's just helping useless assholes who can't afford to help themselves?
you probably don't even give when wal mart tells you to.
