Political Memes

That the system is abused by bad actors doesn't invalidate all the many thousands of non-profits out there that are literally /not/ motivated by profit (because they cant make any), but by developing a long-term stable operation that pays well for their labour, supports more clients, or serves some other need in the community long-term.

Operating a non-profit means thinking about building a 100-year organization or whatever, not bonuses for shareholders. They are also different from charities, as they can exist to serve a specific, small group of people, like FLOSS developers of a project, or a bunch of volleyball teams for teenagers, or a worker-owned bicycle shop, or a farm co-op, or whatever.
