If i were going to give that kind of money, or any kind of money, I'd want to see some kind of plan and timeline, not just write a check and hope it was spent wisely. Seems like they have enough money to do the engineering and other planning--too early
for big checks. I wouldn't pay a contractor full price up front for a garden shed.

Great piece in the NYT about the efforts to put out the fire and the risks the firefighters took
America is not the only country with FD heroes

Wondering how the money is flowing.
A few people feel the rain. Most people just get wet.

let’s call this the Parable of the Disappearing Billionaires
At the time of the fire near the Seine, you could barely move for expressions of cashmere-clad concern. Take the family and foundation behind L’Oréal, who at the time declared how “touched” they were “by this drama that unites beyond cultures and beliefs [and] intend to take part in the collective effort and talents needed to meet this immense challenge, which touches the heart of our country”. As of mid-June, they had handed over a big fat zero. The same goes for oil giant Total.

BTW, that NYT article should be cross posted in the long form article thread, it's well done with integrated graphics.
Well maybe I'm the faggot America
