What a shock, you offend most of your volunteers and they don't show up.

For years I have made an annual contribution to the Salvation Army.  They are one of the few charities that don't pay their top echelon leadership grandiose salaries.  But, no more.  This latest foolishness has forced me to write them off.

Samaritan's Purse seems to be one of the final options left.

People today are just plain stupid. And don't know how and when to just simply keep their mouths shut.

I don't give to any of them.
The socialists have made a point of infiltrating charities and foundations in order to control funds.
Do you really think the Ford, or Joyce families actually approved of the things their foundations now support ?

Which is a good point.  For years I've avoided helping "foundations" that want to fund worthy efforts for future generations.  You can't control what is done with your generous donation in the future. 

Every damned college endowment fund should be liquidated and given to the poor!  You will never see that....

How many millions have been poured into Haiti since that earthquake a few years ago? If you go there, it looks as if it happened 15 minutes ago. All the money was stolen and squandered. They're still $h!tt!ng in the streets.

...... On a lighter note, I just heard Pocahontas, (Liz Warren), has Covid.

Read your history.

Haiti has been existing on US foreign aid since they declared independence in 1800.

Appalachia is in the same boat - billions of $$$$ spent by .gov and NGOs, and all anyone has to show for it is the PhDs they got pretending to help. Having lived near it, and travelled into it (hell, most of my ancestors lived in it), it is heartbreaking and enraging to see that waste. And Brandon wants another $2T that will go the same way - people will line their pockets and nothing will be resolved.

Do away with HHS.
If the community isn't willing to help someone they probably don't deserve it.
Gov workers don't know these things.
If you want do get rid of poverty , get rid of professions that profit from it.

I am 100% positive  i could take over any gov agency at the federal or state level.  Cut the budget in half, the work force by 25% and see a 50% increase in productivity.  The problem is the escort I would need to keep me safe would make the ss look like a scout troop.

My grandmother  has told me stories  about when she was a very famous governor of California's  personal secretary... let's just say if the stories came from any one else I would call them a liar to thier face... she even has documentation  of some of them. 

The reason he picked her was for her short hand... no one else could read it.   

Look up the prop 13 commission... the recordings were never supposed to be stop... let's just say I know where the minutes  of those meetings are and I know enough about her short hand that I could tell  you when stuff was turned off.
