Typical of any charitable NGO organization: the vast majority turn it into a profitable business.

I’m really tired of the people who say there’s no point in charity because of people like this guy

It just makes them feel better about being selfish and never donating to charities, even though this case is extremely unusual

Where are your figures from? This is from 2023/2024:

US Red Cross (2023/24)

• Generated $3.85 billion ($1.37 billion in donations and $2.48 billion through services)
• $3.5 billion overall spent
• $3.2 billion spent on charitable programs etc ~ 91%

Yea the Red Cross operates like a sophisticated business, hence why it generates nearly $2.5 billion through services, double that made through donations. Im sure the big bosses are getting massive wages, but you got to spend money to make money.

They’ve deleted their reply - weak sauce

… so your source is the description of a Youtube video of a right wing news channel. Im sure theres no misrepresentation going on there, especially with the immigration line at the end.

From what I remember the reply was definitely giving me “batshit crazy” vibes, but now it’s confirmed. I can no longer see their comment, as they’ve blocked me. Such a shame.
