GoFundMe COVID case hunting

As a ghoul, I sometimes troll around GFM looking for the FAFO asshats. During times of fresh meat boredom, I’ve posted links in the chats. I don’t social media so there’s no way for me to confirm their antivax feelings, but sometimes it’s pretty obvious. So this is a repository for GFMs that folks might stumble upon. I’m starting with one I found last night that was so funny/not funny that it’s practically legend. I will be making jokes about this forever.

I'm still amazed people have money to throw away on these chumps, I always thought their bills and Trump donations would bleed them dry.

I, myself, started a GFM, but it was to do with getting dentures, and it didn't catch much.(possibly $200).

Only my good friends contributed, and GFM disconnected the page. Fast forward to today, after scoring all kinds of government money from the pandemic, I'm getting it done with my own money that I carefully saved up.

GFM has a rather intentional delivery system-the best ones are well-connected people who can drive up donations through word of mouth and lots of media play. The majority of them are losers and not many people get more than a fraction of t he money they're seeking.

How does GoFundMe actually work?

Here's what you need to know.

Yeah you can really see the difference in the people with a social media presence or a connection to someone in media. It’s crazy. And it’s absolutely nuts that this is how Americans are trying to pay bills.

@DeathofRats-BadgeHoorMaroon It says something very profound about our society when the majority of accounts are for health care bills. What other country would have this kind of disconnect for their citizens? Even Russia has health insurance for their citizens.

Why can't we do the same? Because you know, "Profits before people"!

@Mary Hilton Republicans have utterly brainwashed their masses. They’re essentially zombies. I have no other explanation for any of this bullshit.

I need a go fund me to payoff my CC bills. CC crooks been financially raping me at a rate CRAZY high AFTER I missed a payment due to a car wreck (merciless mufers). Also, I need to be able to make a 1/2 million dollar bet on UFC's Gaethje at crypto.com like drake did for reasons of racial/fiscal equal stupidity. (Gaethje lost). I'm under the influence after my Dr. visit.

I’ve honestly been trying to work up the nerve to try a GFM. But I think you need to be linked to social media of some sort to really get traction. So if you want to pay off those CC bills then start a TikTok account. Hell, do it even if you aren’t trying for cash.

@Dip Dibbler What you really want to do is be a leftie with some age. And have some calming things to say to the children, or teach the children. The more cultural education, the better. It takes awhile to curate your algorithm in there. But it’s utterly refreshing once you do. You are treated to likeminded people. Also, yeah, dancing is good.

Good lord! $2000 won’t get him very far in solving all those problems, but he’ll be lucky to get $200. It’s awfully damn tough out there.

To be fair, Kalpesh always had a large bulbous head. Also he didn't have any hateful stuff on his FB, but he had a great looking fried chickpea recipe on there, and now I'm starving.

@DavisBacon Well Davis, I've been very busy with a number of Nigerian Princes who it turns out I'm related to (Them DNA tests are super accurate yah know) and i might have to go live in a castle after I pay some small back taxes n stuff...and also a passel of hot babes overseas that have a thing for old men found out about me here and well.. yah know "if you got it flaunt it" so yah I''ve been saving up so I can buy tickets for a lot of them to come visit me in my luxury low rent apartment.

Yep my luck just keeps getting better and better like this one too:

Transfer of Estate of late Jeremiah J. Ahern Deposit Sum (US$32,000.000.00). I am Ademola Adelabu the Manager, Bills And Exchange at the Foreign Remittance Department in a Bank.

So yah just waiting for all the babes and inheritances. That's why I have to keep gettin vaxxed up. I might do a go fund me to help with the back taxes, visas, and plane tickets.
