Instead of scam let's call it bad management.

When I was in the Army overseas, the Red Cross sold cigarettes to those who smoked, the Salvation Army gave them away. If a soldier went home on emergency leave, the Red Cross expected to be paid back for transportation, the Salvation Army did not. I know a guy who goes on these emergencies for the Red Cross. He eats only the best and stays in hotel rooms and the red Cross pays for it. They even paid for a week in Hawaii on a beach. Those expenses are written off as donations.

Give blood. Don't give money. I prefer the Salvation Army since no one gets rich working for them.

Oh the irony. The New York Times itself covered up the Holocaust for years despite knowing about it.

I know. It was the first link when I did a web search.

But it's true.

Exactly right!

Churches, private schools, Christians, and now the Red Cross?

Here is the better question; Why are people sighting in on the Red Cross all of a sudden?

Is it another echo chamber talking point cracker for the parrots to be upset about?

Something is fishy here, and it smells like another progressive "if the government isn't running it, it's bad" meme that is constantly being pushed.

Just when you thought it couldn't any worse.

99% of charities are scam... stop putting money into charities when measured outcome don't show significant impact or when goals don't solve an underlying problem...
