          Reminds me of a certain somebody who got really into stimulants back in the 30s.

      Given they are operating unapproved generators, (and therefore presumably unregulated and non-compliant) seems ripe for various types of accidents.

    NAACP, calling for something and then never following up on it. Gotta stay relevant to get that cash.

        It ain’t the NAACP of the 60’s that’s my take on it. What’s your favorite recent NAACP legal action or organizational accomplishment?

          Non profits aren’t getting much grant money these days

            They get money from people.

              They do but it’s not where they get the majority of it from. All non profits have a team whose job is to bring in government grant money. I worked at one for a year and that’s how it works.

                  Large organizations like that get huge donations from rich people and corporations to lower their taxes. My small local non-profit I worked for helped vulnerable mothers and families. The grants they got from the government were usually larger than private donations in total.
