Yay, but also, isn't this a governments responsibility to keep people from starving?

Pledge

I’m always skeptical of pledges. But I’m happy for them. Also I have to admit I didn’t read the article. I’ll go do that now.

Aww. Good on Premium Meats:

The cash, with $100,000 paid annually over the next 10 years, will come from Premium Meats.

“They’ve been a supplier to us for six years, and, after a fundraising event, they asked what they could do and we chatted,” Wilson said Friday. “It all happened in a manner of days. It’s such a meaningful gift. And it’s over 10 years, which means we can count on it.”

I’m now less pessimistic. This is a good thing.
