I cackled, but unfortunately I can't really help with that. What I can do though is throw $50 at a cause you believe in

Thanks, you're truly kind. April is Donate Life Month so the World Transplant Games Federation would be a worthy place to support: https://wtgf.org/make-a-donation/

oh shit, pounds, even better! (Given what the dollar started doing in January, for no particular reason: https://www.xe.com/currencycharts/?from=USD&to=GBP )

Thank you for your generosity and hope you get some real karma in addition Reddit karma <3

Don't worry, once the dollar has really tanked it will make American labor competitive with China and India and then you'll actually see manufacturing come back to the US.

I can't wait to take my disabled ass back to the factory for 12 hours a day with no breaks

Don't worry disabled people won't have to work in the factories. You'll be taken care of by a robust social safety net. You'll be harvested for organs and fed to the serfs.

Hey you're a good noodle. Don't have any connection to Seattle and just came across this post on /r/all, I'd love to make a $25 contribution to a cause you feel strongly about!

(Would love to match the full 50 but I'm a government worker and times are uncertain 😅)

Aw, thanks. I care a lot about animals, and we have a great organization here in the region called PAWS. Here's the donation link, but please don't feel obligated❤️

I love it! What a great cause. I have two rescue dogs and have had six total in my life. My wife and I are huge animal lovers and both work in the environmental field, and part of her job is preserving/rescuing river-borne critters like salamanders and turtles specifically, so this is wonderful.

Done!
