I’ve never even considered donating since I learned they have reserve that can cover site upkeep for decades, and the way Jimbo Wales spends the money. And this is like, more than a decade ago.
It’s the same for St Jude. They sit on millions in reserve and ask for donations that end up in the CEOs pocket.

Source?
Which one? There’s so many scandals St Jude is involved in. A 5 second search on Google will give you at least 20 different ones just on the first page.

That may be true, but I feel like you’re the one propagating the information so you should back it up with one source. But now that you’re noting that there are “so many,” it seems only right that you now include multiple sources of different scandals.
Lazy ass. These are just the first three examples. Spend more time and even an ounce of effort and maybe you’ll fucking learn something.

It only takes an ounce of effort to provide a source from the get go. ❤️

They offered you a hand and now you feel entitled to the whole arm.
