I’ve made no such claim…

A meaningless gesture is a statement intended to make you feel better about the situation without solving the problem. You might also call it a symbolic gesture or a token gesture.

All I’ve said here is it’s not enough.

There is a HUGE delta between "meaningless" and "not enough".

You can attempt to spin all you'd like, but people can read your comments and draw their own conclusions.
