I refuse to donate. Trillion dollar companies depend leech on it and yet refuse to spend money on it.

Let it fail and see what happens.

Harsh but true. Any of the FAANGs could cough up a million dollars and let the thing run for 1000 months.

I’m too poor to have too much revenue that I need to donate some away to pay fewer taxes. That’s a problem corporations have.

Even a single highly paid employee of a FAANG, many of whom frequent this very forum, could pay for a year without breaking the bank.

They would rather downvote you than giving away $100

Because it is factually wrong, which would have taken seconds to discover.
