Networking for Systems Administrators is out for tech review, so I’m working on my forthcoming Christmas collection. Here’s a snippet from Twisted Presents.
Money is the one vice without a biological limit. We can gorge on food and wine until we puke, and the feast ends. Do enough drugs and you die. Despite what teenagers think, you can’t have sex twenty-four seven. Vices are self-correcting.
But if you’re greedy enough, you can pile up money forever.
And you can teach your children that your vice is their birthright.
The only reason I don’t say “eat the rich” is because toxic metals accumulate at the top of the food chain.
But even among the rich, there’s some I hate more than others. Until today, “people who scam charities” weren’t even on the list. I mean, the biggest charities in the world spend eighty percent of their donations on administration. They’re just another face for the oligarchy.
But a meager fraction of charities do charitable work.There are wholesome people who honestly want to help others, and invest their time and effort and meager income towards that.
Some of those handle large amounts of money, and spend that money on their cause.
But every dollar spent helping the helpless isn’t invested in cybersecurity.
If you have the skills, and totally lack decency, these charities are easy targets.
Twisted Presents will be coming to Kickstarter in July, so I can get it to you well before Christmas. For twelve days, of course.
