Consumers Union, the entity that publishes Consumers Report is a 501 nonprofit with 100’s of millions in the bank. They are one of the most glaring examples of a business pretending to be a charity. Why should they be subsidized by the US taxpayer?
I’ve been posting here for years about the abuses of the US nonprofit corporation laws. Way too many of these entities are in business to enrich their handlers or push a political agenda. Few nonprofits clothe, feed or house human beings.
I have no issue with Consumers Report. It is a fine publication. My issue is that the company that publishes it is tax exempt and that makes no sense at all.
The 503(?) non-profits status is also being abused to put forth paid propaganda.
