Also is a smarmy side-ways way of actually admitting to being a food
bank thief... of course it's mostly poor quality stuff, the good stuff
is stolen. It's exactly the same with thrift stores, the workers
abscond with all the worthwhile furniture, art work, appliances, and
whatever... dintja ever notice how it's all crappy 'lectric knives,
cheapo baloney slicers, schmatah clothes by the ton, and
broken/worn/wobbly furniture... this is mostly donations from family
members from some recently deceased's estate... I've seen it myself how
the good stuff is culled out and kept by those supervising... typically
warehoused until picked up by an auctioneer, with the proceeds going
into private pockets... I've habituated estate auctions for many years,
I know exactly where lots of that merchandise comes from. What do
yoose think happens to the contents of deceased's homes... the heirs
hardly ever want to be bothered, they sell the house but other than
personal effects the contents becomes a tax write off when it's
collected by organizations like say Salvation Army... none of the good
stuff ever makes it to the thrift store. Charity is all a scam...
preying on the idiot sinners who need a way to feel good... next time
you slip your few bucks into the church basket know that you're
supporting some creepo clergy who at best is screwing your wife/mother
and at worst is a child molester.

The good stuff you give gets stolen by the administrators, with trickle
down to the workers to shut their mouths. If anyone thinks these
so-called do gooders are going to admit to pilfering you gotta be a
pinhead... of course they want yoose to keep donating, more for them...
why do yoose think someone would propagate one of these self-rightious
brag posts... real heros don't talk about it. Charity is a business no
different from organized crime, never forget that.
