Telemachus refers to his father Odysseus hundreds of times in the Odyssey. Every single time, he uses the Ancient Greek word “pater” (father). Informal infantile words like “papa” did exist in Ancient Greek. But in the Odyssey they are only spoken by little girls to their daddy.
America’s first overseas war was fought to free its own citizens from slavery in North Africa. It’s why Marines say “the shores of Tripoli.”
Shores of Tripoli wd be a good movie.
Now this is mind blowing
Joe Rogan “Kids Wish Network:
- They raised $127 million
- They paid to solicitors $109 million
- They spent large percentage on direct cash
- Aid to the actual kids is ONLY 2.5%
- Look at the Cancer Fund of America. LESS THAN 1% went to the actual thing”⠀
I looked more into this and it’s mind blowing
- In 2012 they raised $18.6 million, but only $240,000 went to actually granting wishes. That only about 1.3%
- Overall over a 10 year period only about 2.5% or less was direct aid
- Founder Mark Breiner pocketed almost $5 million
Cancer Fund of America is even worse
- They raised tens of millions. One of several linked orgs totaling over $187 million across their entire network
- Professional solicitors took 80+ cents of every dollar
- Less than 1% went to actual patient aid in many years
These orgs were shut down after FTC and multi-state actions in 2015. It was one of the largest charity fraud cases at the time
