I wonder if that has anything to do with the fact that all pictures of the $1000 winners have women.
- scott_karana 9y agoWomen, especially single moms, make less and often need to spend more to survive. Plus, while Pedro and Ian have women on the pictures, it sounds like those were sent after receiving the gifts, so that couldn't have been part of the selection process. Plus the trans individuals, whose identity or desired direction of transition I won't guess. At the end of the day, who even gives a shit who they're helping? It's a private, for profit company sacrificing profits and trying to do "good", as seen through their own lens. Power to them.
- akkat 9y agoI'm not complaining. I just think that it's interesting to see the demographics of the winners. On another note, I can understand why single moms would have more expenses. But why would a woman who is not a mom have more expenses?
- scott_karana 9y agoHmm. I just did a poor job combining two sentences into one. Not sure if that's the case at all for non-moms. :)
