Do you have any idea how many lives could be saved from starvation for 200 million dollars? It's fucking ridiculous that this is the kind of shit people are willing to donate that much money to in 5 days.

Why would they just be willing to throw away that much money for Zero return though? I really don't understand this from a logical perspective.

That makes more sense. Its still sad that these rich motherfuckers are willing to take thousands of dollars from people who probably dont have that much money to give, but just want to see a nostalgic part of their childhood kept alive.

Even if they bail out Toys R Us in the short run, I dont see how the company can survive long term unless they can make some major headway in online toy sales. Kids just dont care as much about traditional toys in the age of smartphones and tablets, and the toys that are still being bought are mostly coming through Amazon.

That's a fucking dumb idea. Let's just never worry about what people donate millions of dollars to that has no altruistic value while people are literally starving to death all over the world.

I'm guessing that you guys had cheap ass parents growing up and they didn't take you to Toysrus every week like mine did. The store is an smerican staple. It's been around longer than any of us have been alive. It brings joy and fascination to children. It deserves to be saved.

If a business is unable to be profitable, the only thing it deserves is to die off. Thats literally the whole point of a businesss existence.

For what it's worth, TRU actually is a profitable company. One of the biggest financial issues it has is that it was bought by three investment firms that leveraged their debt against it - one of which was Bain Capital, co-founded by "binders full of women"/"not all DACA kids should get to stay" Mitt Romney.

It's fucked up since it's basically just providing an investment firm with the money to invest so they don't have to use their own. But, on the other hand, I want to see TRU continue =x (Not donating myself, mind you -- I vote for winners and losers with my purchasing habits only)

It just makes no sense to me. In th event this guy succeeds, he literally quintuples his initial investment without diluting his equity. It wouldn't be a bad investment if you got some sort of promise to equity but holy crap... you're literally giving your money to some guy with 200 mil who wants a billion dollars.
