    “Non profit” doesn’t mean no one’s making a profit, it means the organization isn’t.

    They can still stack millions in bank accounts or pay it out to executives whose job doesn’t even involve showing up.

    All while avoiding significant taxes. Like, you want to pay someone off?

    Donate a million to your charity, write it off, give that person a “no show job” for 100k and in a decade it’s done and appears nice and legal.

    Instead of people, you can do it with corporations like this article talks about.

    It is always a grift. Always.
