These comments don’t really address opportunity costs. It’s the same concept where why are we paying non profit CEOs so much but when you think about it those CEOs could have just worked for a much higher salary anywhere else .

The cheap money era is gone now though.

>>why are we paying non profit CEOs

And anyone with a "foundation" (recall sarah palin's daughter getting paid some ridiculous amount for her :foundation" to fight teen-pregnancy after been a pregnant teen??

Fwiw I would trust a person who has gone through teen pregnancy to understand what kind problems it has. Just like people who didn't get to go to good schools establish scholarships. In isolation, those are the people who will understand the issue much more.

True, but her "foundation" was taking 'donations' and paying her ~$450,000 a year as ceo...

And then evaporated I believe and dont think she had any impact on the problem.

Yeah. I didn't know that detailed, but I indeed suspected it. That's why I said "in isolation". These people will be scammers regardless of what they are doing. I was just being a bit pedantic because your wording suggested teen mom's should not run charities for teenage pregnancy related things.

That's a fallacy, those CEO's wouldn't be elsewhere making more, otherwise they would. That's just a trick they use to convince people of supporting with (in most cases tax free donations) their ridiculous life style. Another reason I prefer donating directly to people who need it, or volunteering. A person who is making 3M/year in an organization, is not the "sacrifice myself for the people" type, let's stop fouling ourselves.
