Journalist and writer, Yvonne van Dongen, has written what is hoped to be the first of several deep dives into the racketeering [my word] by some registered charitable organisations here in New Zealand. Unsurprisingly, the neo-rainbow racket features significantly.
Does anyone remember Eric Hoffer, the longshoreman philosopher?
“Every great cause begins as a movement, becomes a business, and eventually degenerates into a racket.”
This one sounds like its tailor-made for anyone with a 3-letter acronym starting with T? “We lie the loudest when we lie to ourselves.”
That fits this (now) racket like a glove.
