Like in a real country these people would be taken care of and a woman would not have to sell her body to raise funds. I see commercials all the time on the news for children’s charities, begging for money, meanwhile the richest what 500 or so people in the world had their wealth increase by trillions. Again, in a REAL country these kids would be taken care of.
those charities rarely help kids, theyre earmarked for ‘awareness fundraising’ (which they are technically doing) and thus are usually a way for owners of corporations to do tax writeoffs while contributing to one of their family’s bank accounts. all of the donations cashiers ask you for at supermarkets, on tv, etc, are from bogus orgs
Just wanted to chime in and say that it’s not entirely the case that all of those orgs are bogus, but it’s HIGHLY store/community dependent.
My local food co-op has a different local org every month and they’re all halfway decent. I volunteered with an emergency youth shelter/drop-in center that does pretty rad work, and they’re part of a rotation of beneficiaries.
That being said… it’s fucked that we need to rely on that in the first place.
local food co-op
ok but thats not a supermarket, something with local character is likely to be less shit
Yeah, all the local shops here do local non profits. The chains donate to themselves
Its like using your last $40 to buy cheap food at a supermarket chain and they ask if you want to donate to a child cancer center.
Yes, I want to donate - I can’t. I shouldn’t have to, this should be publicly funded. And you should be paying enormous amounts of taxes.
The worst one I’ve seen was Duke Energy sending out holiday blast emails for you to donate to Duke Energy to pay people’s power bills.
Like how they refer to her a model and not as an actor
You know, because she was in commercials acting
She was going to be the live-action Squirrel Girl until Disney kaiboshed that project because they hate fun
EDIT: Just re-read this and this isn’t some upper class person and now I feel horrified making the accusation.
Jesus Christ, what the fuck?
