Apparently about 300 billion per year is what would be needed for ending extreme poverty.

I’d say we should.

Not everyone on this planet is poor. I don’t need that money. But maybe roughly 2 billion people do. And “not even a thousand dollars” is two years’ salary. In this case we’re talking about a quarter of the world’s population, so you “not even a thousand dollars” becomes “not even four thousand dollars”.

And that means: “Not even the salary for 8 years. Possibly only 5 years!”

I mean, the money is enough to completely eradicate poverty from this planet. That’s all that really matters.

In a lot of countries 10 000 dollars is the salary for about 5 000 days. Or in other words, far over 10 years. And you were talking about several tens of thousands, which means several decades of life when distributed among 300 million people, about a decade per person if distributed among a billion people.

You put it well: it’s basically a charity.

He’s one of the most important military bloggers in the Russia.

The Russian military could never function without getting the huge amount of donations they get from the common folk. And Fighterbomber is one of the most efficient tools for that. If they can get Fighterbomber thrown to the front, the Russian military will have less resources to play with, and the war will end sooner.

He is also one of the people who has been demanding for the Russia to use more violence against Ukrainians, being angry that Putin “is being too kind towards Ukrainians”(!)
That means, he absolutely deserves all the shit that possibly can land on his face.

Bungee jumping is not dangerous, though.
