Mellon donates $130 million. That's about $100 per service member (1,300,000 active duty service members)

Timothy Snyder: The amount is meaningless--less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country.

I don't think the oligarchs are an essential step in this process of nation destruction. Trump seems capable of doing it mostly by himself.
