I know you have to look at the video at the link, but there were many $50,000 SUV's picking up free bikes.

Flame away.

My first thought as well. Each year, several businesses give away free school bags with supplies - and the line of Escalades, Beemers etc filing into the parking is disgusting.

You do that in the metro area near where I live and the black people will shoot each other trying to get bike.

Partly why I am wary of organized charities as opposed to one on one charitable giving. I don’t preclude giving to organizations completely but I’m wary.

“We did it,” said Wilson. “No one thought we’d be able to do it but look at what we accomplished.”

and there it is, the accomplishment, the “feel good” but nothing was really changed.

Helping people should not be entered into lightly.

“Why do you hate me, I never tried to help you” is a quote I often observe to be true.

Not saying one should not help people but go in with eyes wide open.

I donate to dog charities. Doubt a lot of beemers getting advantage there.

Will these bikes help them to their destination Sooner?

At my old house there was a free food pantry at the church across the street.
Once a week i’d see the Lexus, New Ford F-150’s, BMW show up for their free food.
