I'm guessing the Singing "Imagine" During Covid equivalent of celebrity postmortem moneygrubbing that Kimberly Van Der Beek managed has dampened enthusiasm for the public when it comes to making millionaires more comfortable out of the goodness of their hearts.

When you think of all the families in America dealing with illness whose lives could be changed with just a fraction of the amount these celebrities are shit-grubbing for, it's enraging.

What a stupid culture this is.
