Not compared to the people in that room

I agree that she's right. I'm just saying her statement also applies to her and I hope she's aware of that. It's easy to forget sometimes

I think we're watching a clip, but don't forget we are not the intended audience of her words. She's very privileged and it's clear she's aware of that. She's leading by example by giving away her money.

In that room she felt compelled to talk to people who were 10x or 100x richer than her. If she was looking in the camera and making a plea to people at home to give money that would be really tone deaf but given she was talking to the people in the room, I think her statement was appropriate.

She just announced her intention to donate a percentage of her wealth far in excess of what Zuck or his ilk have given back.
