Recently I wrote about why you shouldn't donate to The Salvation Army. Well today I'm telling you of another so called Charity to avoid, Goodwill. Why shouldn't you donate to Goodwill? Well Goodwill exploits the disabled, paying them less than minimum wage, at around $0.22 an hour. That is just as bad as being anti gay. In PA where I live Goodwill pays $0.22 an hour.
Now how in the hell can Goodwill get away with paying workers $0.22 an hour? Well it's due to an outdated US Law called 14c. Anyway it permits employers to pay its disabled workers less than minimum wage. This law dates back to the great depression and is called subminimum wage. So basically subminimum wage is obsolete and should be abolished.
What agitates me is that the CEO of Goodwill makes $725,000 a year which is too much for a CEO of a nonprofit organization. So don't donate any goods to Goodwill thrift stores because they markup the prices of stuff that is donated for free, for a high price, like the Salvation Army Thrift stores do. I think Goodwill should be renamed Badwill.
