Well, yeah. Others should donate, but this is the first one I’ve seen a story about. I think it’s better to encourage people then ask why they aren’t doing more.
I hear your point of view, but I'm going to double down on mine. Here's a list of celebrities that have donated:
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson George and Amal Clooney Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck Matt Damon and Luciana Barroso Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively Leonardo DiCaprio Julia Roberts Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness Arnold Schwarzenegger Meryl Streep Nicole Kidman Oprah Winfrey
This group has donated about $6 million since May 1. The Rock and MacFarlane both donated $1 million, so that leaves $4 million between the rest of them. Many of these people are literally billionaires, so I mean, I'm OK saying they can do more to support their fellow actors and crew. $6 million doesn't go very far against LA or NYC rents.

Okay. Thank you for providing that list and those figures. Now I have a much better understanding of where you’re coming from.
I see your point. Four million between the rest of those folks isn’t a lot.
