Allowing startups to begin as non-profits for tax benefits, only to 'flip' into profit-seeking ventures is a moral hazard, IMO. It risks damaging public trust in the non-profit sector as a whole. This lawsuit is important

>>therei+4H
The public has no idea what non-profits are and a lot of things that people call 'profit seeking ventures' (ie. selling products) are done by many non-profits.

why do people in our industry always make the assumption that everyone else are morons?

The populace understands what a non-profit is.

>>PH95Vu+cV
our industry? I know the public doesnt because I grew up among people working in non profit sphere and the things people say on here and elsewhere about what non profits do and don't is just flat out wrong.

e: i mean it is obvious, most people even on here do not seem to know what profit even is, for instance >>39563492

this argument is unfair.

Unless you're a lawyer specializing in negligence, there is nuance to negligence you don't know about. Does that imply you don't understand negligence?

You need to separate those two things out from each other.
