The real problem is needing these donations at all. These kind of things should be government funded for at least 90% if shit worked correct.

Completely agree, charity is a symptom of something wrong in a society. If something needs support and is worthwhile (and you assume charities are for worthwhile causes), why as a society is it not being done?

If you look at a lot of charities throughout history, it's almost like they're really there for the powerful to play with their pets ..

That's fair, I'm certainly not addressing that.

The comic was about the charity/corporation/individual interaction and I'm just talking about the fact that given the situation they're in, charities rely on donations in this form.
