Like, their food ain’t even good, but idk if it was fucking 4 star quality shit.
I have a family friend who worked at our local Salvation Army headquarters as a a secretary. This particular office took all the Christmas donations for children in need, put them in a warehouse, and on a designated day the staff and their friends picked through them all, taking whatever they wanted. She saw people hauling away bikes donated for specific families. Some local children had hundreds of dollars of gifts donated in their name, and on Christmas they received three cheap things, items likely not even from the person who sponsored them.
My friend quit, and I’ve not given them a dime of my money since then.
Do not give to the Salvation Army.
Do Not. Give. To. Salvation. Army
My turn.
I’m a wildfire and disaster logistics specialist.
I deal with a lot of agencies who provide disaster relief.
I used to say the Salvation Army’s disaster services were the one (literally the ONE) good thing they did.
They would come in, set up a canteen trailer, make and pass out hot coffee and donated food in a disaster, usually being one of the first agencies to get there and the last to leave.
Then I found out.
Every time they did this, regardless of if they were actually invited or deployed by the agency in charge (usually FEMA, sometimes others) they would SELF-DEPLOY. Meanjng they would just show up. Ok. That’s not TOO bad, sometimes agencies have to take initiative and get there before the red tape is sorted out. BUT. They, after they left at the end of the incident, they would send FEMA or the host agency a BILL. They used one or two paid employees (usually the driver of the truck and a supervisor); and many VOLUNTEERS, but they would bill for EVERYONE’s Labor at standard federal rates. They would bill for the food they distributed even though it was all donated by another agency or private parties. They would bill for the coffee they made and the supplies. Except they would use electricity from the shelter location, water from donations or from the shelter, and in many cases, they would get the coffee and industrial filters DONATED, but bill for them at retail prices.
On this day, 6 December 1928, the banana massacre took place in Ciénaga, Colombia, when soldiers killed up to 2,000 striking workers of the United Fruit Company.
Workers had gone out on strike on November 12 demanding numerous improvements including a weekly wage, payment in money rather than coupons and a day off work per week. It was the biggest industrial dispute in the country to date.
On December 5, government troops set up machine guns around the town’s main square, gave people a five minute warning to leave, then opened fire into the crowd of workers and their families, including many children.
The exact number of those killed is not known, but estimates range from 47 – the figure from the military officer in charge – to 2,000. An official of United Fruit reportedly told the US embassy that over 1,000 strikers were killed. Bodies of the victims were then either thrown into the sea or buried in mass graves.

This statue sculpted of black granite was found in the forecourt of the temple of
Mentuhotep II at Deir el-Bahari. It was one of the six statues that Senusret III dedicated to the temple of his ancestor
Mentuhotep. This is the first known statue representing a sovereign in the posture of a prayer.
The king wears the pleated nemes headdress with the cobra on his forehead and a pleated kilt. His hands are represented flat over his kilt while he prays to the gods or carries out a priestly function. His mood is written on his face: here he seems exhausted, and the wrinkles between his eyes both accentuate this and suggest his advanced years.
Senusret III was an aggressive administrator and a shrewd warrior. Here he is represented with these tired eyes after leading several long campaigns to Nubia and Canaan to restore Egyptian power.
Black granite, from Deir el-Bahari. Middle Kingdom, 12th Dynasty, reign of Senusret III, ca. 1878-1839 BC. Now in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo. 18.4.22.4
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
