He signed off the letter as a DR. I'm sure he makes $20,000 in a week or two weeks max so not really a huge investment.

We all make decisions every day that cause the death and suffering of people.
This guy is a fool, but I feel like that's an odd way to look at it.

To be fair, for every idiot that will pay $20k to take out a full page ad about their feelings there are 1000 business owners that would laugh in your face and say something like, "Ha! Newspaper?! $20k?!" And then go spend it on Facebook or something.

One single page ad for one day costs $20,000? How is the newspaper industry in so much trouble??
