Lame Conspiracy: Major Charities Are Just Stealing Donations

[LostInSauce]

I had a friend (RIP) whom lit into me for giving to The United Way.

It was just a part of The U.W. drive that my employer does every year but,
she told me she was denied any help by them when she was forced to stay at home to be in attendance
of her husband whom was slowly dying of cancer due to exposure to agent orange.

He died 1 month from her to be able to receive lifetime benefits from the VA .

The VA themselves denied him benefits and went so far as to video him riding his lawnmower
saying "if you can mow your lawn...You are obviously lying about your cancer." (!!!)

I helped her out the best I could for literally years.

Jesus. That's really horrible. Yeah, insurance and the medical industry are really awful. If you don't use the insurance, you're paying huge sums of money for nothing. If you try to use it, they'll do everything in their power to avoid holding up their end of the bargain, and even if they do accept your claim, they'll jack up your premiums to get their money back. Bloodsuckers. Really revolting subhumans.

Charities stealing money is clearly a conspiracy. It's so common that we almost never think about it that way, or at all. I mean, we even hear about it on the news, so it must be pretty commonplace and almost normalized.

Still, it's hypocrisy of the highest order. These people have no shame. Instead of stealing directly from the poor, let's steal from the generous people who are trying to help their fellow man.

As far as I know, the safest way to help the poor through charities would be with a small local organization that you know will distribute the help on a very local scale.

Other than that, I have serious trust issues. Think about the Red Cross during the Haiti earthquake a few years ago. We kept hearing that the millions of dollars the Red Cross was sending were going to unknown places, or to some rich guys in Haiti. What the hell?

Yeah, I listed this as a conspiracy just because technically speaking it is a conspiracy. But I think it's one of those things that society knows and accepts. Like you pointed out, they pour literally billions of dollars into these countries and yet that country just remains a shithole. Pardon my French. Billions. That's thousands of millions of dollars. Hell, if you gave me a million dollars, I literally wouldn't even know what to do with it. It's life changing money, and that's with prices being what they are in the US. Imagine what a million dollars (nominally) would do in a country like Haiti. There's no other explanation for this but embezzlement, fraud, money laundering, etc.
