Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I don't think you understand the difference between sustenance and worship.
Do you think the average lottery winner gives their winnings away to charity?
It's easy to be moral when it's not a choice you actually have to make.
Money is the bottom line and nobody gives a fuck!
The average lottery winner isn't playing the lottery for any reason other than greed. Of course they don't give their winnings away.
On the other hand, MacKenzie Scott, Jeff Bezos' ex-wife, is giving away billions of dollars to charities with no strings attached.
Seems like the morality was not in question in her case. It also seems like it would be if you were in her shoes.
We have a great saying in Danish for people like you: "Thief thinks everyone steals". Just because you think money's all that matters doesn't mean that applies to everyone.
Absolutely right. I don't want to be rich. I want to be comfortable, but I don't want to be rich. I don't need a giant house. I'd be happy with a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home in a nice neighborhood. I don't need a Ferrari, but I wouldn't mind being able to afford a nice EV or PHEV. I certainly don't need a butler or a chef or whatever. I'm happy doing all of that myself. But I wouldn't mind being able to afford a plumber.
That's really all I need in terms of money. Sure, it's richer than I am now, but it's nowhere near rich.
