@roadblock161_ it really is as a veteran of decades experience at incompetent charities, i have a whole theory, which is that a really incompetent charity still monopolises its problem space and sucks the air out of the room for a hypothetical more competent one if i had no ethics i'd get on the precise nonprofit grift path you outline

@roadblock161_ Well, yes and no. After spending few years thinking about this problem on and off, I'd characterize this as one more example of tragedy of commons.¹ When the people of the Commons lose community, there's an opening for the executive to work without supervision for their own short-term benefit, which is nigh always opposed to the interest of the commons. As long as you don't outright sink the ship, you're safe. ½ _ ¹ The current dictionary definition. Not the original one.
