I've been asked about the LA wildfire donation scandal. Here's the truth: it's standard operating procedure. In most nonprofits, only a small fraction of your donation reaches the front lines. If this qualifies as a scandal, then the entire nonprofit sector is a scandal. Lawmakers shouldn't treat this as an isolated case; they should treat it as a call to overhaul a broken, opaque system. The graph below shows the 501(c)(3) grant network for the Barack Obama Foundation. But it could be almost any major nonprofit. They all look like this.

What a dilemma for the Democrats. They want to replace Joe Biden as their presidential candidate, but how can they argue he can’t be the candidate and remain POTUS? Kamala must be really upset. They don’t want her to be president so bad, they are torn to pieces about what to do. Meanwhile, America just keeps falling apart under all the Democrats in charge, so it doesn’t really matter which one they pick.
