Generosity & Stupidity
Just read online that a woman is donating 128 million dollars to her former high school in Philadelphia. I know it is her money but what the fuck are you thinking? Do you want to rebuild the entire fucking school and install gold plated drinking fountains?
Granted most schools everywhere could use some funding help but to lump all this on one school is obscene. There are thousands of students in the US sitting in shitty classroom conditions. Why not throw 10 million or so the way of your alma mater and spread the rest around to school districts who are in worse shape. If your school can't make a positive difference with 10 million it is run by assholes who don't deserve to be running a lemonade stand let alone a high school.
The benefactor said she wanted to make the donation since she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. I think it's too late. Word has it she decided to give this donation while discussing it with a Swifter Dust Mop she was calling "Mommy"

Unfortunately it's mostly the stupid, malicious, insane or worse people that have a shitload of money and don't know what to properly do with it.
Like when someone wins the lottery jackpot over here. You can BET it is either a 80-year-old retard that wants to donate it to the church, or a 65-year-old retired who "is happy that he can now finally make that long planned vacation to the Black Forest" (note: not Maldives, Kenia, Bora Bora. Noooooo. The black Forest which is not more than a few car hours away from him because "his wife gets air sick". WAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!).
And for the "rest" of the money, he's just gonna "put it in the bank for social security when they're old". *mad*
It's NEVER a family with 2 kids that is struggling with 2 jobs and still can't make a decent living, and would be happy for the rest of their lives if they could provide a decent education for their kids, or live in a decent home. NEVER.
Not quite as batshit crazy as whatshername who left all those millions to her dog, but still ridiculous not to share around the good that all that money could achieve.
