Bryan Lunduke has kind of gone off the deep end the past few years. It does always seem bizarre that Wikimedia alone gets called out when companies like Apple alone have enough in just cash to fund Wikimedia for the next 1,000 years.

Unless you believe that any cent over the cost to do business is unethical to collect, why should Bryan Lunduke be any more qualified to be able to determine that Wikimedia is misusing their money than the people running the organization. I am assuming here that he is okay with private property rights.

Money is fungible, right? If I donate $5.00 then I am offseting $5.00 worth of running Wikipedia's infrastructure, whether or not they ceremoniously take my $5.00 bill and put it into the vendor's pocket.
