We can do that, but first let’s make sure everyone on the planet has clean water first.
The money spent on this would not have been spent on giving clean water to people thousands of miles away
Doesn’t flint still not have clean water?
Does this really make it any less worthy of criticism, though...?
Yes?
Is that where guillotines come in?
Maybe it would’ve if governments taxed them properly and spent that money to save the planet
How about using it for the free school lunches that the Governor decided to veto for some fucking reason?
It was privately funded, this money would not have gone to school lunches

Hey, it's just $2,300,000,000
Can't even feed a packed homeless shelter for that much ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You sound like the people criticising NASA for spending money on science. "Who do X when Y is still an issue?"

This is the equivalent of saying “Eat all your dinner cause there’s starving children in Africa”.
Sure, this sounds nice, but this logic falls apart the instant you start thinking about it.
