> You haven't made an argument against an NGO operated cafe, you've made an argument against an NGO operated cafe that pays out all its earnings. Ah, there were some unstated assumptions in my post. 1. NGO leadership are usually from a different talent pool and background than business leadership. 2. Business leadership tend to outperform NGO leadership at growing a business. This leads to the idea that a cafe operated for charity might produce less good than a cafe operated for business, as described above. I think it was definitely true in that specific case. Whether the NGO could've run in a more expansive, business-like fashion? I don't know. I'm inclined to guess no, but I'd be open to being pleasantly surprised.
