The business entity of the red cross takes in 10%. They also make money on the resale of. I'm going off of memory here but I know it's over $1.5b that the red cross makes by selling free blood to hospitals. Over 75% of their operating budget is produced from selling blood. Well, I guess they give you donated oranges, a sticker, and some water... bitter oranges. wtf man, they're are good people other than your favored helpers. And I'd wager they're more effective.

Jones, the founder of InfoWars, popularized the idea that the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Connecticut that killed 20 children in 2012 was faked. “Exclusive: Victims of Hurricane Helene Confirm The Federal Government is Purposely Blocking Rescuers and Stealing Aid In an Attempt to Keep Deep Red Areas From Voting,” Jones posted Thursday on X.

boyst Posted October 5, 2024 Posted October 5, 2024 Black. White. Up. Down. Yes. No. Waters wet. No, that's Russian disinfo JFK was an inside job, Nancy Reagan did it. No it was Lee Greenwood. Seriously, the blinders are funny. Half of everything is right that's being said. Aid is there. Logistics and supply chains are hard. More than enough volunteers. Even more up there to pose on social media they're "heeellppping." The fake Dr Joe's even going to help. Not with doctor stuff, but he's going to do a crayon by numbers with the locals to cleanse the vibe, of course. This is just annoying as ***** seeing everyone run their mouth. It's a disaster. Not enough can be done right now. Efforts were screwed up at first, sure. But now is where the rubber meets the road and ***** needs to happen and all I see are people running their mouth everywhere. Except for "Dr" Joe. He's said he's going to be helping but probably just sniffing all the glue donated to make sure it's non toxic. That's more than about everyone here. Commend him for that, at the least. 1
