Is the Red Cross a fraudulent operation?...they pass donations for disaster relief onto NGOs too...

but don't take just my word for it...do a little research.

Your 'Kicking and Flailing' to save face after mindlessly supporting Joe Rogan's disaster of a podcast about FireAid isn't going to make it all better. But that's your decision.

BTW, my wife and had a shift at our local SVdP Food Bank yesterday, and I asked the lady who manages it (a non-paid volunteer like the rest of us) about donations and who they are used/needed. They need those donations to buy certain foods...replace refrigerators and freezers that breakdown...buy shelving to store all the goods that are dropped off by other agencies/donors, buy fork lifts and keep them operable, etc....the net result is that we volunteers put needed food and clothing in "Customers" carts and bags...directly. That's just one example of how FireAid donations get used...there are 160 intermediaries helping the victims in L.A.

Get out of your bubble, as they say, and donate some of the time you spend on the OF in an NGO that indeed provides Direct support to thousands of very needy people...i.e. experience reality and not some "For Profit" podcast.
