The Red Cross has become too big to be effective. The same thing happens in government, business, or any other institution when it reaches a point where the money is limitless and those at the top are too far removed form the action to know what's going on.
form = from
Like Ma Bell...its time to break it up...and it'll take an act of congress because of the massive power these iddiots have acquired. My suggestion...is that there be six of them. I'd have just one group for Texas and Louisiana by itself, one for the Pacific coastal region, one for the Carolinas, Florida, Alabama and Geo, and split the other 3 amongst the remaining states. Lets face it...the massive need for the Red Cross is the coastal regions...both Gulf and west coast. The only requirements in the interior of the country is flooding.
The same point that I discussed with my boys just today.
The UN and the Red Cross are one in the same.
Quick to collect large amounts of cash.
Stagnant and corrupt with funds collected.
End of story.
Yep. Any time an organization gets to the size where teh chief executive is insulated from failure, rather than the greatest victim of it, it's functionally doomed.
Note the Red Cross, United Fund, large auto and auto components companies, and major airlines all have a dynamic where the more money they blow, the more money their out-of-touch top execs get.
Delta Airlines, for instance, wants to cut the salary of its Comair subsidiary's flight attendants from almost $40,000 to $19,000 a year on average. The money will go where the employees' share of stock went: into the pockets of CEO Glenn Tilton, who has "earned" hundreds of millions by driving his company (and many of its employees) into bankruptcy.
The Red Cross is adept at fund-raising and self-perpetuation, and it spends most of its time, money and effort on those two goals, and secondarily on the comfort and pleasure of its senior execs.
