EN: The last time people pushed hardcore to side with "The Resistance", they empowered a billionaire who conned them all out of their money. - The problem is everyone thinks they're the "resistance." The richest man on Earth, Elon Musk, believes he's the "resistance." Donald Trump thinks he's the "resistance." Every religion claims to be the "resistance." Once upon a time, Trudeau was the resistance, and now, of course, Pliyev believes he's the resistance. The lesson I take from all this is that being the "resistance" is often more about ego than anything else. It (22)

- As a cashier, I work at a place that lets these teams set up tag days, and it always annoys me how many people think it's a crime that we let these kids fundraise for their hobbies outside our doors. Just grow a pair and walk past, you can refuse or ignore them. Trust me, you're not the only one saying no to them, most people do, and so do I.

On the other hand, what about Girl Guide cookies now? I'm okay with that, haha (20)

People come to my business ALL the time asking for donations so the team can fly to where ever and - Easy fix. "No thanks, not today, good luck." Doesn't take much. I see kids fundraising often, and I'm happy to donate a bit of cash here and there, tapping makes it easier. If my $5 helps a kid get into sports or something, that's better than them doing nothing, missing out, or God forbid wasting time complaining about irrelevant things on the internet. The only thing worse is the people replying to these posts. (17)

If my $5 makes it easier for a kid to p - To address this... 1. "Sell me something!" That could be an even worse way to do things. The money wasted on these types of things is astonishing. If I buy a $10 item, the organization gets very little, and I get something I don't really need. I'd rather donate to an organization I believe in than buy a box of cookies I don't need for my hips. That's how charity donations work. When Girl Scouts sell cookies, (12)
