I despise United Way. When I was in the USN back in the Seventies, they pressured us to give money to the United Way, and young sailors didn’t make that much. I very much resented it.
Love the Salvation Army, though...
All the liberals at work think united way is greatest thing since sliced bread and enthusiastically donate to it and then virtue signal about it during the yearly extortion drive. Before I knew anything about how evil united way is that alone was enough to make me distrust it.
