Dear Jeff Bezos, [View all]

I love love love Dolly Parton…

But $100 millions ?

I have full faith She will likely do great things with the “windfall”, but shit, why not give $100 millions to national food banks? Why not every fucking school? Why not Veterans?

Be. Practical.
Help millions, not one (even if the one will do something good)!!! FFS!
