RE: Weekend-engagement topic week 36: Generous and charitable - A nice combination

Well, I would make a calculation of how much do I need to spend to get a lot of great people I know out of this sorry excuse of a country and have them placed in modes comfort in other countries. Some names you already know, but maybe I'd go the extra mile and have others that aren't HIVERs but members of my narrow circle of friends.

I don't trust too much in charities. I see them doing some good work and I know a lot of them are truly trustworthy, but doing all the research required for me to be in tune with any charity around the world would be a hassle.

I understand what you mean about the lack of trust in charities. I actually spoke with @papilloncharity about this some time ago and he actually agrees, many are simply raising funds that go to the CEO and other executive salaries and never reach the people in need. Funds are used in expensive advertising campaigns to raise yet more funds and more revenue that is misappropriated. It's an issue, and one reason I' am incredibly careful about how I support charities.

I htink looking after your people, those immediately around you is a good plan. Charity starts at home right? I'm a big supported of helping those who help themselves and whilst some cannot, a little boost is often all it takes to get things moving.

Indeed. That's always my problem with charities. There have countless examples of charities to help Venezuelans in need that have never been truly put to their actual purpose. I like the idea of helping in my own accord. And it has to be like that. Helping those I know will beget help to those they know and the chain continues.

My thoughts exactly. ✅

Which country would you like to move to? Or move your friends to... If you don't mind me asking?

I think I would ask them about that. However, I'd like to place them out of Latin America. We seemed to be doomed to repeat the same mistakes over and over again.
