Zwabu posted:Are any of you familiar with the specific mechanics of how gofundme works? I thought the account holder had access to the funds immediately and could spent it how they wish? Does gofundme have control over the funds before they are withdrawn, or up until a certain point? Is there a general policy that the stated fundraising goal has to be met before funds can be withdrawn and used by the account holder or else automatic refunds happen? GoFundMe lets you keep all donations you receive even if you don't hit the goal, but there's obviously going to be some legal problems if you fail to hit your goal and don't engage in the project but just keep the money anyway. So the organizer is refunding the money instead of dealing with a class action lawsuit; he's already known as a grifter who's scammed people through crowdfunding platforms before, so when the stake is tens of millions I think he's realized that he can't actually keep it and avoid getting in the poo poo.

Not outside the realm of grift to fake interest by pumping in multiple donations from the same actual source.

That's a somewhat smaller list, there were 3.5 million (or so) signatures on a petition, iirc about 10x the number that actually donated. Still way better than just scraping the web for addresses.

He's already trying to turn this into a full blown 'non-profit' to build the wall (or a few miles of it) with him at the top, presumably making a pittance of a few hundred k a year.

Yeah, make those civil servants feel the same pain as folks in private industry that make more! I feel like the Dems missed a beat by not having hard numbers on how many contractors are totally and utterly hosed no matter how and when this ends. Speaking from my personal life, we're reaching a point where a lot of them may not be back when the government reopens because they can't just take off a month without pay and wait longer to see when it reopens. It brings me back to not understanding why the government outsources so much anyway (I know, it's because the contractor companies can do the work for less because they can pay less and offer poo poo or no benefits while lining the pockets of the owners that fund campaigns)

Corsair Pool Boy posted:Yeah, make those civil servants feel the same pain as folks in private industry that make more! In my part of government we contract because we're not big enough to need someone around with that expertise for more than one job. We generally end up paying more than hiring someone in house would be, because the contractor can start being productive from day one.

If you hate yourself go check out the threads about the super punchable MAGA chud kid who got caught antagonizing that old Native dude at the March for life protest. Apparently that kid is the real hero and we should all hope to be so brave in the face of such hatred... Jesus loving Christ, usually I'm fairly immune to freeps particular brand of hatred but for some reason this poo poo just set me off today and I had to stop. I'd post quotes but I don't feel like going back in there and I'm on my phone so some other brave soul will have to dive in.
