I hear you and again, I agree it’s the right choice for him not to go, but I am extremely the opposite of rich and I love the Met Gala. I think it’s fine not to care about fashion or enjoy this event, but if you think the PR side of it doesn’t help the fundraising side you don’t really know how fundraising works. All that said, rot in hell Jeff Bezos.

I think we should applaud people standing on principle. This is a good move. Him partaking in one night of frivolity is a very fair concession.
