   Saturday, got trapped by predatory charity people when trying to go to the grocery store
   
   "Did you know a child in poverty dies every X? Etc etc"
   
   Ok ok whatever I'll donate. Oh it's through this stupid app on your iPad? Ugh, alright whatever.
   
   Do the thing
   
   Wait a minute this is a recurring donation? Oh fuck that
   
   *immediately cancels debit card*

     Oh I know, I figure from now on I'll asking what the overhead is of the charity and why they can buy so many tshirts etc promoting the charity when they could have donated that money instead

     And there is a good chance the kids that need your help may only see five cents of your dollar.

     Problem is that most of the people they have out harassing folks for donations are still wet behind the ears and think they're saving humanity. It appeared this group was staffed by exchange students, yet another group of people easily manipulated 😭😭😭
