You haven’t proven a damn thing.

You’re still wrong.

I see, well you’re wrong. On every count.

You’re the one who even brought that up? Nobody is claiming that.

I’m struggling to get you to understand how bringing a camera to a secret ballot is disruptive.

Right… That’s why they were allowed to stay.

In the US, fucking with voting is very much Nazi behavior.

Well that’s illegal. They’re probably trying to stir up trouble because Cobb county goes Democrat.

You are absolutely not allowed to film or disturb a place of voting.

Sorry sometimes I do steps in my head. But yeah charity doesn’t come from a place of deception. If they said we’re selling to the middle class to raise money for the lower classes then that would be okay.

I’d agree if they weren’t deceptively marketing themselves.

And yet Habitat for Humanity manages to build houses while it’s stores are actually thrift stores.

You can easily find video ads of goodwill on YouTube. And I linked you their literal strategy.

That would be awesome, but they need to straight up tell their franchises the game is up.

Then they aren’t a thrift store and should stop deceptively marketing themselves as one. Furthermore their “programs” are shit. If they just paid their employees then they could afford the online courses without the administrative overhead.

It’s literally their entire marketing scheme. And if the Goodwill near you is offering good prices still then that’s great. But this is something people have noticed.

So fun fact. The top story on their success story site is Google IT certification. That’s a 50 dollar a month Coursera course, which will take a dedicated person a single month. You can go to community college for 25 dollars a month and walk into actual IT certification tests. Hell you can take an online bootcamp course for programming and cyber security for 10 percent of the normal cost and pay them only if you get a job in the field.

If giving people a fucking coursera course is the limit of their job training then it’s functionally non-existent.

If they’re free market then they aren’t a thrift store, charity, or a non profit.

My local goodwill turns down anything that’s not perfect because I live in a high cost of living area and they’re getting fed high quality items from across the country.

There’s a thousand retail and fast food establishments out there dying for labor right now. There’s no need to use Goodwill as a halfway house. They aren’t teaching skills. They just give them a job and pay them less than minimum wage. If this was a job training program then there would be a point. But there isn’t.
