What an upside down Alice in Wonderland world we are experiencing. Meanwhile, as someone mentioned, the worker bees drone on. Who funds this insanity?

how much of the article you linked that was sent to you did you read?

Donors to the organizations, or more precisely, whoever funded this organization:

https://bipocedcoalitionwa.org/

are who funds these sabbaticals. I will tell you that the Exec Director of non-profits often get sabbaticals for whatever reason. Somebody is able to convince enough people that the normally-provided time off and benefits just aren't enough.

They've been successful getting a couple of foundations, a couple of United Ways, and some BIPOC individuals/organizations to fund them.

Rich country problems.

When the whole thing falls apart and people can't feed themselves you'll see what happens to the kid gloves and snowflake treatment

I assume everyone would be hunky-dory with a foundation funding sabbaticals for white people, right?
