Topic	It annoys the fuck out of me when I feel like my generosity is abused

Yeah, it's not like you can just donate to a computer who then processes the money, and then deposits it into someone's account. You need a human figuring out where the money should go, how to get it to them, and so on. And humans take money to operate with any sort of real efficiency. If only banks existed. Banks do indeed exist. Now all you have to do is personally identify a person or group in need, identify a service that will reliably fill that need, and transfer your money to that person or group so they can access that service. In practice, having a charity do all of that legwork is a whole lot more efficient than each individual donor doing it themselves, even if it creates overhead costs. That doesn't mean those costs can't be inflated to abusive levels, but the concept of charitable organizations is not inherently wrong. --- This is my signature.
