You could have donated to a children’s Hospital, which the Republicans are about to cut off all funding to with the government shutdown and again in a few months when DOGE cuts 2.5 Trillion in funding for hospitals, healthcare, research, infrastructure, etc.
Instead you’re making sure some random killer gets peanut butter and crackers for the next 30 years. SMH
Lmao. Donating to organizations and charity is a waste of money. They are just grifts that take a majority of those donations to enrich their executives and maybe 5-15% actually goes to the cause you support.
Im too poor to give either money but i would rather see it go to someone who brought awareness to the issue and inspired more class consciousness and solidarity than the wall street military industry profiteer owned democrat party ever has.
Really telling that you pretend to care about “awareness” of a problem and at the same time don’t care about saving lives like this one:
Charaty is disingenuous. it attempts to burden the working class by paying some of what little they have to alleviate the societal problems caused by wealth inequity and a system that putts profits for a few over the lives and well beings of those actually doing the work and their loved ones. If we had medicare for all then this poor beautiful child would well be taken care of. And All the money thats otherwise used to pad the pockets of people who spend more on a weekend vacation than you or i could earn in a dozen consecutive lifetimes could be spent on research and medical care thats often denied to bolster profits. Go guilt trip the insurance companies who are responsible for the deaths of 180 human beings on aberage every day due to claim denials. How many of them are children?
Oh fuck right off. Murdering more health insurance CEOs would save that child, not “donating” to the hospital.
Fuck for profit healthcare. Time to human sacrifice more CEOs into the volcano until things change.
They are just grifts that take a majority of those donations to enrich their executives and maybe 5-15% actually goes to the cause you support.
any references i can look at for this claim?
There is no law mandating that charities have to give any specific amount of the money they collect which is why many charitable organizations can get away with siphoning as much as they they can to executive pay and administrative costs 5-15% may be a lowballed generalization there are likely some people in these roles who do better. Red cross claims 90% goes to the cause but thats highly unusual. There are 42 different charitable non profits in the us where their ceo alone is paid over $1,000,000. The ceo of the sloane kettering cancer research center, Selwyn Vickers earns an annual compensation of just over $5.7 million. Now thats not much for a charity that takes in 7.3 billion but i would be surprised if more than 1.5 billion of that actually went to cancer research My favorite argument against charity is by Slavoj Ziezek in “first as tragedy then as farce” who argues that charity demoralizes and degrades it is immoral to use private property to alleviate the issues caused and exacerbated by private property society instead needs to be reorganized so that poverty is impossible.
Here is some good reading on how the system of charitable non profit organizations is abused bh the wealthy to further enrich themselves

His father is the head of Mangione Enterprises which owns tons of real estate including resorts and country clubs. TBH I assume he’d have his peanut butter even if less than a million people paid the prison industry on his behalf.
Nobody cares what he comes from or who his family is, guy, he merked a rich asshole who had it coming and made sure to let everyone know why.
You know what might save more children than donating to a children’s hospital? The destruction of our current healthcare insurance system. Of course you know that. You’re just intentionally making a bad faith argument to distract people because you’re a bootlicker and an enemy of the working class. Get the fuck out of here troglodyte.
So instead of tens of millions of children having necessary medical care covered, none of them will.
Great plan, hope it works out like it does in your head.
It would cost you exactly nothing to stop this moral grandstanding. Here is your “I am better than you” award, now go away: 🏆
I will continue to be a good moral person and anybody who advocates otherwise can suck my balls.
Maybe we could source the blue-shelling of CEOs and when good people inevitably end up in the clink they could be welcomed as oppressed comrades and freedom fighters.
An argument could be made that his actions are drawing attention to the Healthcare crisis and are worth millions in donations to any single facility.
We all have opinions.
Why are you so focused on sucking Brian Thompson’s balls? It’s weird especially because he’s dead and the world is better off for it.
Good moral person
Gets their panties in a twist over how other people spend their money to help out a guy who took a social murdering parasite out
I would think that the majority of that donation revenue stream is captured by the crooked health insurers.
Alright then, obviously the solution is to just pay for each other’s care without the insurance so let’s start an office that facilitates the pooling and allocation of funds for healthcare costs to be covered based on specific terms to prevent misuse that…
wait a minute…
No, the obvious solution is universal healthcare funded by taxes. Healthcare in the sense of giving care, not withholding care.
The benefits are so obvious arguing for the current US system is disingenuous.
You could say this argument about people buying alcohol or cigarettes or lottery tickets or McDonald’s cheeseburgers. That money could go to better things but that’s not really the point. I mean, it’s their own money, they can do whatever they want with it. If it makes them happy to give it to some dude at a prison why is it any of your concern? You can feel free to give your own money to the children’s hospital.
Alcohol, Cigarettes, Lottery Tickets, or McDonalds are all personal use. Giving money away is another matter entirely.
There’s this guy who runs this shitty renamed social media site I bet you could easily reach out to
