re: I’m sick of donating shite to non profits

The VAST majority of "charities" are money-making SCAMS.

And, this includes some of the biggest, like the American Red Cross.

People give to the American Red Cross during disasters because they feel like they have to do something for the "victims." Well, giving to the Red Cross is the worst thing you can do.

A few years back the Red Cross ran some campaign to collect for a disaster (I believe it was the 9/11 "victims." They collected tens of millions (maybe even hundreds of millions) and spent a small percentage on those victims. Instead they pocketed the money and spent it on their higher-ups and politicized friends and causes.

They were sued and lost. The courts told them that if they advertised for a particular cause they must spend the money they collect for THAT cause.

So, every time the country (or world) has some sort of natural disaster, your should NOTICE how the Red Cross scams their donor.

They no longer say, "Give to help the victims of Natural Disaster X."

Instead, they say something to the effect of, "Gives to help the victims of natural disasters, like the victims of Natural Disaster X."

In this way, they are USING the victims of these natural disasters to collect tens of millions but aren't obligated to actually spend ONE F*CKING DIME on them.

Pay attention to the next American Red Cross commercial that occurs right after some sort of natural disaster and notice the subtle SCAM word-play for yourself.
