It is things like these that makes a grassroots approach so important.
People helping people, without all the red tape.
Literally getting people on the ground to go out and get the aid to the victims.
Let's not fool ourselves into thinking that "the commissions" or "costs" that some of the "charities" such as The Red Cross take are small.
Here is a concrete definitive post about it:
Are your bushfire donations going to the right place?

If we the people do not go about taking care of our fellow human beings and ensuring that those who need it get it, then who will?
We surely can't accept the types of answers we are hearing from the names charity organization.
I guess there needs to be put a big red cross through some names on the list of charities to donate to.
or just maybe, people who are there can say what it is they need, to whom exactly to send help to and that way the problems of abuse can be solved.
Sorry for this disturbing post and no matter what is true or not about the fiasco mentioned in the above articles, it is heatbreaking to listen to and read through.

The Fact of the matter is that un a "Capitalistic" Society, the perception (unconsciouslly for most, some of the "how else should it work mentality) is that "ALL" must be done for profit.
Sader still is most of them would not do anything without a paycheck involved...
I have often asked Myself this question,
If they say that they spent "X" amount of millions in a catastrophe of some kind...
Well...
What does it cost when there is no catastrophe? Maybe less gas, maybe less food to distribute, but...
Still got people, still got machines, still got a good 75% of the infrastructure..
Ir maybe "these" costs are always mixed into and dependent on the next catastrophe..??? 🧐🤔🤔
Looking at those who are sharing what they can with each other because they are equally decimating by a catastrophic weather event is not looking at the right rung of society, or class of wealth.
Look up, that's where the shit drops down from the monkeys jumping and laughing from tree branch to tree branch while our ones burn below.
It's a drought that has exacerbated these fires. But a drought like this will never have the land grow back and become green again from the rain of chimps!
Our Capitalistic society down here is frivolous, the one they have up there is guaranteed riches and wealth. Infact, the more fires burn down everything and cause water shortages, the richer our ruling class of babboon bitches will get.
It's more complex than me calling politicians a bunch of shit-flinging apes (or is it?) but I need an alcoholic beverage to really ramp up and pump out what I've been looking into with these fires in NSW and VIC. Certainly don't match anything i've witnessed or had to manage for work in my 18+ years in the Insurance industry.
