And while it’s true that I could give money directly to one of the UW agencies, saving them the administrative skim off the top, you guys need to come to grips with how lazy I am. Without UW making it pathetically easy for me to give, those agencies would get nothing from me.

So they’re kind of like the corner check-cashing/Lotto ticket/smoke shop of charitable organizations, then?

Giving to the United Way is like feeding pigeons; it just encourages them to breed and crap all over the place.
