I'd be ok with anonymous donations if they were truly anonymous both publicly and to the management of the institution receiving the money.
Maybe this is something that the government could facilitate - pool these resources, then help distribute them where they are needed. Almost like how taxes work.
Maintains uncomfortable eye contact with the camera
If anyone is aware of the source, it's not anonymous, it's undisclosed.
Agreed, literal anonymous, way cool. Undisclosed, much less so.
The tweet speaks of "dark money". I like that term better. It feels worse
I work for a nonprofit and “anonymous donor” definitely means “c-suite folks know who it came from”
So in this context, it's always doublespeak?
This exactly. If you really want to stay anonymous then use a middleman and do it anonymous to the recipient as well.
Everyone involved with the institution, students, parents who pay tuition, teachers, authorities who financially support the institution (...) have a right to know in whose pocket they are.
do like onion routing, use two middlemen, i guess you'd literally use locks, sorta like that encryption analogy
Just like they do social security? The government is terrible at the distribution of money. Edit: Damn, y'all really hate SSI
Elaborate?
You know they can't
They seem to be pretty good at making sure the military has all the finding they need
Wait til you hear how much of that money is unaccounted for. https://www.nationalpriorities.org/blog/2023/11/21/pentagon-fails-its-sixth-audit/
The program that lifted millions of seniors out of poverty. That money.
I'm talking about how no money was to be taken from it for any reason but they figure out ways to do it all of the time.
