Since when did giving millions to some bankers being laid off become the signal of being kind?

They are getting severance packages with two months of further employment, and while that is not ideal for them at the individual level, I don't see why they need charity any more than anyone else.

Being kind would actually be donating the money for truly charitable purposes to help the poorest.




I agree. Being kind is not keeping it for yourself.

Also the "some bankers" classification. I remember in the 2008 crash people getting angry at their tellers because they are "bankers". Yes they are, but they probably don't earn that much, dude.
