  It’s also human nature for the kind of psychopath executive positions attract.

    So we should just accept that and pay them off rather than putting in mechanisms to prevent that and hiring people who are motivated by something other than the payout?

    It might seem like we have no choice but we do, collectively, hold the power of the purse here. And I think this post is a great example of that.

      No, we shouldn’t, but that’s what is happening.

      And yes, I agree.

      You are not necessarily paying of the same people. Even most honest/righteous people like money. So the charity willing to pay them get those and the charities that don’t risk getting the kind of people who don’t mind embezzling.

  I am not an exec, so no it is not. It is just statement of fact.

    What is “it” in your comment?

      What I am describing is not blackmail. It is the same as saying that leaving unguarded food next to starving people encourages theft of said food. That is not blackmail. I am saying nothing beyond that. I am not commenting on morality of the situation or what the right thing to do is. Just pointing out it is not quite as simple.

        It amazes me that somehow all that makes sense in your brain. Interesting.

    Would be nice if that worked. If you embezzle the money smartly, e.g. giving lucrative contracts to friends consultancy firm, there is pretty much no way to prove it.
