CHARITIES: Stop asking for help

| December 22, 2023 1:00 AM

I’m sick of the commercials for Wounded Warriors, the Humane Society, Shriners Hospital, kids who need help. Stop tugging on people’s heartstrings who don’t have the money to give but do so anyway because they feel so guilty?

Taylor Swift, Trump, and all the other billionaires in the world could fix all these problems. So do it! 

Stop making people who are barely getting by feel guilty by not giving some small amount that doesn’t do anything.

Step up billionaires! I’ll never be one (a billionaire) unless I hit the lottery (which will never happen) so don’t ask me to give money when we’re hanging on by the seat of our pants with pensions and social security.

People need to stop being sucked in, hang on to your money, believe me other people could take care of all the problems… so… why don’t they?

Stop the ridiculous commercials. Stop asking for money from people who can’t even afford groceries for themselves!
