I live with a Ukrainian whose family and friends had to flee the country or fight. I see the pain Ukrainians experience every day, I’m open to some left-leaning ideas, and even then, I feel zero sympathy for Elizabeth Gilbert’s decision and video.

As you point out, Gilbert has enough money to take the financial blow, but is she really going to lose money? This video got her a lot of press. My partner doesn’t see how her decision helps the Ukrainian people. If she really wanted to help the Ukrainian people, why wouldn’t she donate all the profits from the book to support Ukrainian aid?
