"FRANCE: Foreign Minister Michel Barnier in Sri Lanka, then Thailand. Has earmarked 100,000 euros for relief, sent 16 rescuers to Thailand, 10 tons aid to Sri Lanka"
yea 26 people and 100k big spenders they are...
Also WTF is with these other countries only sending 2 million? I mean sure 2 million is better than Frances measly 100k but common only 2 million from an entire country?
Shit Bill Gates will probably donate more money than that. Hell Amazon.com has raised almost 2 million in 2 days from their website and freaking entire countries can only send 2 million?
IMO Even the US is being a little skimpy as we have only pledged around 30 million but I know that will go up over the next few weeks. Then add the countless private donations will probably easily equal that number so we will more than be putting our fair share in.
But really WTF is with some of these other cheap ass govts?
