Mark Steyn on GoFundMe Scam: I’m Not Sure Giving 400K to a Homeless Guy Is Not on Balance with Giving $3B to Bezos

EXCERPT:

STEYN: "I did think this was the craziest story of the day until I heard your last segment. I’m not sure actually giving 400 grand to a homeless guy isn't on balance marginally less insane than giving $3 billion to Jeff Bezos. So there is that. I have to say, you are right. Americans, all the poles of global charity showed. Americans are the most generous people on the planet. And I think it would be sad if charity and that generosity just to become part of that going viral on social media type thing. This story smelled crummy to me a year ago when it was a feel-good story. And not to go all H. L. Mencken on you, but it's a feel-good story for me now just because it confirmed my slightly dark view of human nature. I love everything about this story. I love the way it was an obvious setup from the start. I love the way people just sort of went bananas for it. It’s a not a good idea to give someone who is sleeping on an interstate ramp $400,000.”
