KMM "The $50MM would pay the salary of maybe 200-300 of the employees who are about to be laid off. A pretty small fraction of the 10,000 about to be axed."But that is still helping 200-300 people who have mouths to feed and bills to pay. Oskar Schindler did not save all 6 million Jews who died in during the holocaust. But he did save saved 1,200. I am sure those 1,200 he saved greatly appreciated that. It is like this:"There was an old man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. One morning, he was walking along the shore and found the beach littered with starfish as far as the eye could see. Then the old man noticed a small boy approaching.  As the boy walked, he paused every so often and as he grew closer, the man could see that he was occasionally bending down to pick up an object and throw it into the sea. The boy came closer still and the man called out, “Good morning!  May I ask what it is that you are doing?”The young boy replied “Throwing starfish into the ocean. The tide has washed them up onto the beach and they can’t return to the sea by themselves. When the sun gets high, they will die, unless I throw them back into the water.”The old man replied, “But there must be tens of thousands of starfish on this beach. I’m afraid you won’t really be able to make much of a difference.”The boy bent down, picked up yet another starfish and threw it as far as he could into the ocean. Then he turned, smiled and said, “It made a difference to that one!”"
