I haven't looked at what you posted closely but I'd take any report with a grain of salt that says they have efficient practices. Talk to people who have had to deal with them and see what they say.

    I do not doubt that you had bad experiences personally. However you have to realize how insignificant one persons personal experience is on the grand scheme of things. If your next door neighbor goes to vegas and wins you are not going to assume that vegas is just handing free money out at the airport. Your neighbors was just one single experience out of tens of millions. Just like your experience with the red cross. The red cross allocates billions of dollars of course there is some waste but all independent audits by reputable organizations say the red cross does really good work and is like I said very efficient.

    Average compensation for family of deceased 9-11 victim $2,083,000 tax free
    Average compensation for injured victim on 9-11 $400,000 tax free

    This is one of the rare cases where the red cross should keep some of the donations for future relief efforts

    I had no idea this happened. A bigger deal should have been made of this.
