Brian Ducey,
Painter
"The wealthy really ought to thank the insanely wealthy like Branson for making them look good."

Emily Shapiro,
Homeless Advocate
"If used properly and in small enough denominations, this money should suffice to shade us from the sun’s harmful rays."

Quentin Lakeland,
Janitor
"Is it making anyone else nervous how all these billionaires are suddenly shoveling their money into philanthropic causes? Is there a Judgment Day coming up that I didn't hear about?"
