Donations

Instead of funding elections publicly and capping spending to make our political discourse more tilted towards policy, we have instead decided (‘we’ = five supreme court justices) that basically unlimited spending as free speech is good for democracy.

So, we are left in the ridiculous situation to ask normal people to contribute to help buy advertising for politicians. This is sick, wasteful, and a travesty, but where we are.

With the wins in Georgia by Rev. Warnock and Jon Ossoff, the Senate has flipped (barely) and that leaves us with no current candidates that need financial links at this time. However, since Stacey Abrams and https://fairfight.com/ helped make this win possible, this might be a good place to put a few nickels.

So, while in normal times, your money would be better spent on pints with friends, you shouldn’t be inside a bar right now, so… we guess donate to:

Succeeding in life, be it in America or anywhere else, is much more difficult than we want to admit. The myth of the ‘self-made’ success is a common and debilitating collective delusion.

To succeed you usually need to work hard, get help, AND get a little lucky.

If you are successful, great! We are thrilled, we’d like to think we are too. But we’ll be damned if we got here on our own. We worked hard, friends (and even complete strangers!) helped us, and we got incredibly lucky. Frankly, we are grateful we have gotten this far.

A functioning society is one that lowers the ladder down, and does not pull the rope up. People have to pull themselves up from their bootstraps, but they need the boots to do it.

With that in mind, the successful among us need to help others get to that level. The more success there is, the better society is.

With that in mind, we suggest giving to:

• Homes For Our Troops
• World Central Kitchen
• Greenlining

Note: We will likely rotate these, so if your charity isn’t here, reach out, we can definitely do a link on a rotating basis.

This one is easy.

They’re all good dogs (and cats, and iguanas, and…), so donate to:

• Best Friends OR Find YOUR LOCAL shelter
• American Humane
• Animal Legal Defense Fund

Sure, we accept tips. We put some time into this, and if it entertained you, educated you, or even enraged you, we’re glad.

The links above are more worthy, so start there. We do have web costs and time spent, and we don’t mind having some income to spend on dogs and pints. So feel free to leave a tip if inclined, but frankly start above first.
