I guess everyone noticed that some old building burned down in Paris... that's why I don't want to talk about it, but about what happened later.
Within a day 1 billion euro got donated to rebuild the church.
Two very wealthy families donated 300 million within hours - the first 100, the second 200 - many large French companies followed...
It's nice, isn't it?
But then you wonder that two large families are able to donate 300 millions for a building within hours, but wouldn't even dare to donate 1 million for charity. Same counts for the companies. What the donate for Notre Dame surpasses what they usually donate for human aid.
... and at the end all the positive PR won't cost them a cent... what ever they donate, they can use it to lower their taxes.
Maybe we should tax them higher... in this case they can donate for every building as much as they want and don't have to care for charity, because the state will have enough money to do it.
