Neoliberalism thrives off of fake empathy. The literally pretend to feel empathy for marginalized groups, raise up fake allyship and cash out. Just look at previous years of pride month. They were everywhere! Now that the it's not profitable, we see less and less. I barely saw any pride stuff this year.

You reminded me of those Ads you see here in Europe that depict African children with some random white person "helping them". Even though they say it's non-profit, you do a little digging and it turns out that one of the founders used to work at Goldman Sachs or some similar firm.

And the funny thing about non profits is that they can still set their salaries to whatever they feel like. 500k/year salaries are not uncommon in the non profit world.

I've heard that as well, but wow do they really go that high?

I hate stuff like that. It's obvious they're trying to manipulate you. It's trashy, and it makes me want to do the exact opposite of what they're asking.

Hell, I'm a thrift shop girl, but damn do I know I'm not actually helping anyone when I go to goodwill. Their CEO is trash.

Is there a non-trash CEO? Honestly I feel like people whose job title is summed up in a three-letter acronym are by default horrible humans.
