There's a few kettles & ringers around here. but the enthusiasm of the ringers seems a bit subdued, and I don't see any money in the pots when I walk past. I used to donate every time I passed one - not this year. I made a rough guestimate of $300 or so last last year. This year I took that money and paid in advance the adoption/neuter/vax fees for 50 animals at a no-kill shelter near by. I'm fairly certain the pets will appreciate it more than the woketards ruining the SA.
There were plenty of kettle stands set up, but the only one with a kettle and a bell ringer was at my local Rural King.
I drop little notes that explain how their wokeisism is why I will not be supporting them any longer! WHen they turned their backs on real Americans, Real americans turned their backs on them, and that hurts their bottom line! Screw them and the horse they rode in on!
Ours are not doing well. I regret it also as like others here, I use to go out of my way to give to them but once they cross that line we're finished - for good. I am finished with the NBA and NFL among some others and now the Salvation Army too.
