When the grocery store asks you to donate to Medicine for Orphans and you say no, you’re a horrible person who personally hates children. But when the pharma company quadruples the prices of said medicine for no reason at all, and they have a patent so no one else can legally make that drug, that’s just business and perfectly okay. And when the government slashes funding to foster care to reallocate to the oversized military, that’s just being patriotic.

Oh, and when Medicine for Orphans is spending less than 5% of your donation money on actual medicine, while having multi million dollar salaries for their entire board of directors, those are just administrative costs and you’re worse than Hitler if you dare to question such heroes and visionaries! And the fact that Medicine for Orphans is actually affiliated with a Christian church and won’t use any of your donation to help gay children, non-Christian children or children born from extramarital relationships? That’s just religious freedom!

    Is it true that when supermarkets or maccies ask you to round your order up to the nearest pound for charity it actually works as the companies donation vs yours and allows them to avoid tax?

    Basically I heard that companies who want you to “round your order up for charity” don’t donate on your behalf, they take the donations from customers, add it all up and then donate that as the companies donation vs their customers. This in turn allows the company to hit charitable donation incentives that give tax rebates etc.

    In essence your donated change is never passed on from you the customer to the charity but instead operates as another tax avoidance step for Tesco/Walmart/McDonalds etc.

    Is this true? I swear I’ve read it is but I have no proof 😭
