I think a lot of nonprofits are doing a lot of really good and necessary work, and I think a lot of people working in them are working hard for not as much pay as they might get in the corporate sector.

I also happen to live in a wealthy suburban area, so I can see a lot of nonprofits that start in this area and who starts them. Either it is already wealthy people, or it is people who then make high salaries for doing jobs I don't understand. Thanks to ProPublica's nonprofit reporting tool, I can see a person in my area making 300 grand annually. I tend to make a lot of declarative statements, but frankly, part of the problem why we're in an economic mess is because 20% of the people in America are in families where the take-home pay is 300 to 500 grand or more, and all the rest of the population struggling to get by on a lot less but still keep up...it's a problem.

I also know that nonprofits run largely on donations, and I worry those donations will dry up if even more people are put out of work by AI.

Thank you for reading and thank you for the comment.
