i would have donated weeks ago if it wasn't for the stupid "ih8gawker@thestranger.com" email address -- way to drive a non-existent and petty rivalry into the ground and shoot yourself in the foot during the process
i like gawker and gizmodo and jalopnik and kotaku and, i'll say it, jezebel occasionally
@1 so give some money on fucking Gawker's side if they mean that much to you. Jesus Christ Scrooge! Why don't you go and watch a movie on Xmas while you're at it! PS: I like deadspin but that didn't stop me from dropping some cash so hungry ppl can eat!!
If you're more moved by the sight of young children in a long line for a food bank than by the whiny tale of a man seeing a movie by his lonesome in a packed cinema house, you have your heart in the right place.
(I have a small monthly donation already set up that I do not get receipts for, just line item charges in my bank statement. This photo moved me to donate extra and that's when I found out about the email change)
Charity is not going to solve this problem, even though it does help people immediately (if temporarily). Capitalism requires unemployment to keep wages down and homelessness to keep housing prices up.

Of course, those are just people too lazy to pull themselves up by their own old, worn-out boot straps. The job-creators have tons of work for them.
That makes my heart hurt.
PS is Gawker even doing a drive themselves? I visited their site and didn't see anything.
Use your technology for good!
How does homelessness keep housing prices up?
