The UK is a bizarre country where its seen as just fine & normal for people to sleep in tents in the freezing cold. Temperatures to hit -4 this week

But the idea Billionaires could be less rich. Not poor, not struggling, just a bit less rich, this is seen as extreme and radical

@DGI Just wild speculation here on my part: The more money you have, the more you fear losing it, and so it gets harder and harder to give generously. I also sense that the more money you have, the more additional money you feel you need no be OK. I guess it turns into an addiction. People with very little monetary reasources seem to have a unique opportunity to give of their generosity. Perhaps that example will shine a light in the dark.
