The Red Cross seems to regard disasters as dandy fundraising events. They won't get one cent from me.

I hear ya & I'm w/ya!

I got sick of the RC treating disasters as "fundraisers" about ten hurricanes/tornados ago.

That is because disasters COST a ton of money. The government doesn't pay the Red Cross to help these people. The AMERICAN PEOPLE give money to the Red Cross in order for people to be helped. These are not fund raising opportunities. This reality. It costs money to take care of tens of thousands of people.

You are clueless. The Red Cross is not a money making operation. The money that comes in goes back out. The Red Cross is made up of thousands of LOCAL chapters across the United States. They service YOUR communities.

You really have no clue as to what you are talking about.

Nobody is trying to make money off of a disaster.

Geesh
