How is that difference measured, in general?

Setting aside cynicism is one thing but what answers are there for skepticism besides the very common moralizing personal attacks?

When I see a lot of nonprofit leadership improving their own lot much more reliably than the people “they serve”, I wonder if the handouts are just being politically diverted to the best and most politically valuable promoters.

If UBI is off the table, competition for gatekeeping resources becomes a dark market.

Notice I am not asking for an example. Anecdata of one, and for sure there are many, in isolation is—demonstrably—mostly PR.

So your honest position that you're arguing here is that literally every nonprofit is not making a difference? Every one of them? What are we even talking about here?

So it is personal attacks? Are you joking?

Is there no gatekeeping of pools of money?
