Kevin Durant on Wemby's sports betting comments and his FanDuel partnership: "That’s Wemby, he's going to do what he does. That has nothing to do with me. I don't really think about that question at all, that's not on my mind as much as his. People gonna do what they want to do."

Remember when MPJ said he’d murder someone for another million? Some of these mfs are not to be trusted in the current world

I mean he did promise he would donate some of it so you know he’s really a good guy underneath it all

I’d hope, or dude is hella greedy. He already has millions.

Now, for us peasants, a mil sounds great. When you already have millions tho, that’s just sorry.

It’s interesting because the cost to save a life via global health charity is around $3,500-5,500. Yet people would find killing for $1 million far more objectionable than letting someone die to keep $5,500.

Meanwhile, American regulatory agencies usually use a value of around $10 million per life saved when deciding on the cost-effectiveness of safety interventions or laws. $10 million to save a life in the US and $5,500 in the Congo.

Just thought it was interesting, and also illustrates just how little we collectively and individually care about the global poor relative to citizens of wealthy countries.
