  • I don’t disagree buts that’s sort of avoiding the point. There are endless examples of large groups of non unionized workers who could collect their money and pay someone (a union rep) a full time salary to support and advance their interests. They have the cash but they still don’t execute for a variety of other reasons.

    It’s not just access to money and cash.




  • I wouldn’t bother. IMHO you’re better off just learning a bit about what to do and not to do during an arrest (e.g. when to speak and what to say, if anything). No lawyer is going to be helping you with that in real time when you need that information.

    Once arrested in the US you have the right to be provided an attorney at no cost. If you get one phone call I would not be wasting it on some lawyers guild. Call your family, friends, or whoever you need to get word out to for financial help or coverage while you’re in jail.

    Public defenders get shit on for many reasons, and they’re overworked and underpaid, but they can still be helpful to you for what you’re describing.











  • A nonprofit pays workers before calculating profit. Salary is a business expense that’s deducted from revenue.

    Any profit left over needs to be reinvested into the company.

    They’re also used as the new jobs placement program for failsons. Some dipshit’s son previously would be made like VP of advertising as a cushy role for his daddy’s company. That stuff happens less these days, so instead they will just put them in charge of some over bloated nonprofit where they can get the same salary and benefits but without the operational criticism that comes with external investors
