    The real problem is needing these donations at all. These kind of things should be government funded for at least 90% if shit worked correct.

      Completely agree, charity is a symptom of something wrong in a society. If something needs support and is worthwhile (and you assume charities are for worthwhile causes), why as a society is it not being done?

      If you look at a lot of charities throughout history, it’s almost like they’re really there for the powerful to play with their pets …

      That’s fair, I’m certainly not addressing that.

      The comic was about the charity/corporation/individual interaction and I’m just talking about the fact that given the situation they’re in, charities rely on donations in this form.
