Im not criticizing Ariana here, but i think reliance on philanthropy by the exorbitantly wealthy individuals to solve problems insofar is a very ineffective way of addressing humanitys needs

A man blew himself up outside her concert as people were leaving and killed 22 people and injured over a thousand people in the stampede that followed.

She's been donating in the city since her concert in that city was the target of a terrorist.

Wrong time and place to talk about why philanthropy can't fix the world. This is probably as much about her as anything else and her way of coping because a terrorist attacked her concert and killed her fans and injured over 1000 of them. When they came to see her. Her concert was attacked by a suicide bomber, man. Read the room.

Yo. No downvote, but you should definitely read up on her history with this city and all of the work she has done since a crack pot attacked one of her concerts.

What’s that got to do with anything? The victims didn’t need their medical bills paying for, her money wasn’t going towards anything the state wasn’t covering. It literally just went to the victims families to help deal with the trauma of losing a loved one as well as giving to charities in Manchester.
