Good Shit I been wondering last couple weeks why all the rich as hell people/companies in the world haven't been stumping up any Dollars to assist even if it just a Token gesture, even "Virgin" Richard Branson seems to have turned into a Hoarder laying off all his staff with no pay haven't heard any donations from him yet is launching his own Cruise ship lol, saw Opra gave 10 mill thats pretty good, Companies take and take but never give back that's all the people are a source of money to them "How can we get more money out of them before someone else does" Dispicable.
