I don't know why OP thought it's relevant to mention that DeVos has a net worth of $5.2 billion, but my guess is that he wanted to shame her because she's obviously a heartless billionaire and thinks paying such a small amount of "government" money for people who perennially get a lot of public sympathy because they're "worthy". Fuck that, and fuck OP. The public shouldn't never have funded this in the first place. Cut 'em off.

well yeah that's all they do is virtue signal. they don't give a shit that this money is getting slashed for speds. If they really gave a shit, there'd be a gofundme up right now to raise 18 million and set up their own special olympics. but there isn't, and there won't be.

Bare faced class warfare. I don't care if she has a trillion dollars or 3 dollars. Let her do the JOB.

If I had 5.2 billion I would donate the 18 million to special olympics if had to cut funding. That is the difference between us and them. The special olympics should be funded by charity.

I suppose you believe a broke ass homeless person would know better how to use money.
