 I spent some time around a pretty large-scale Red Cross operation once. What's really strange is that I never met a single person who was actually being paid. The labor is donated. The food is donated. The equipment, if it doesn't have a cross on it, is donated. Where does all that money go, then? 

"Management"

"Fundraising"

Fuck that noise. I'll just cook hamburgers for people or hand out water filters. I'm not donating to Gail's latest globetrotting adventure.
