    Where should my annual $3 charity budget go, now?!

    but more seriously regardless, wikipedia makes a ton of money from public grants and for their role helping the NSA and other federal agencies. I don’t understand why they keep asking random people for money when they really, really don’t need it. My theory is that because Jimmy Wales is a weird Ayn Rand libertarian, he wants to make it seem as if his model of an “encyclopedia the common man can edit” works.

      Pretty sure Ayn Rand lived off of welfare while advocating against it, so it fits
