This logic would mean all nonprofits would fail. It's flawed.

What do you mean? Even non-profits have income and pay salaries to the people working there.

Many 501c3 orgs only bring income in through donations.

[–] rglullis@communick.news 1 points 1 hour ago

So what? The donations are also supposed to pay for the salaries of the people working there!

The argument is not "no for-profit system is sustainable", but "no instance is receiving to sustain those working"

Holy crap, arguing here sometimes feel like fighting an army of strawmen... Please stop putting your own ideology and how you think things should be and let's talk about what how things really are operating.
