We will discuss any and everything from bad charities, terrible CEOs, and businesses that have a lot to hide. Every holiday season most of us are met at our favorite shopping locations, churches, or public parks with the sound of ringing bells. The tradition of the “red buckets” has been one that has been continued throughout decades, but most people don’t have a second thought when they throw some spare change into the smiling volunteer. But, what is the organization you’re donating to? The history of lgbtq+ discrimination, child abuse, and employment mistreatment runs deep. Maybe those red buckets are as jolly as they seem.
