This is true. Because VV pays smaller charities who don't have the scale to properly market goods donated to them. VV in turn sells what they buy for a profit. The charities get money back for what they sell to VV. How this hurts customers of VV, as claimed by Ferguson, is false. Because the customers don't care where the stuff comes from. If there is an implied notion that charities benefit, it's not a fiction. It's indirect but beneficial.
The Goodwill is not all one, monolithic organization. There is an umbrella organization that in turn franchises out local non-profit branches. So from one location to the other, they are separate entities and to some extent, run differently from one to another. I'm sure there are basic guidelines. They have been criticized for top executive pay being very high. The guy running the Portland area Goodwill at one time was making over $800K.
Around here, they have kind of faded away. I think in general, interest in the SA has been declining. Could be for the same reason that modern society's interest in religion has been on the decline. As a religious charity, SA may be in the same boat. Donations have declined. I've read that a few years ago, they embarked on a change in philosophy to embrace the woke concept. By trying this move, they alienated some of their support that came from Right-thinking supporters. There is always the backlash to consider.
I knew a lady here in the mid-Valley that was an Officer for Goodwill in Portland and was making six figures easy. The money and benefits were easily worth the commute. I never would have imagined this.
Just exactly the way they want it! Keep restricting rights and people with that mindset will simply conform without complaint... right back to good ol single shot muskets.
And after that what force is there to stop them from going Full China and deciding "Politburo Member X needs your kidneys more than you do, we're harvesting you for organs whether you consent or not"... while now, try that crap and there are gonna need a lot more people NEEDING donor organs than received from the effort.Just exactly the way they want it! Keep restricting rights and people with that mindset will simply conform without complaint... right back to good ol single shot muskets.
(....right up until the time they decide you don't need those either!)
I'm sure they appreciate your support.
By the time this crap wangles its way through the courts, Turd will be a sitting governor. Word is he's already got the rest of his draconian gun control plan for the state drafted and ready to drop. NJ, NYS, California and Illinois will look like Arkansas or Arizona in comparison to what he's got planned.
Here's the rub: Turd's just not that smart--he's goading us trying to make somebody Go Kinetic because his puppetmasters tell him to, they've already designated him for a Pawn Sacrifice at whatever point they think they need a "martyr for the cause."
