How can't non-profits lose money ? I don't understand

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

They need to make money. They need to pay bills and pay employees. If you’re losing money, you have to fire people or downsize, just like any other business. Or borrow money

So they're always immune to losing money ? are they protected by law in this regard ?

Sorry, I think I wasn’t clear. They can’t lose money if they want to remain in business is what I should have said.

You were clear. The other guy was being a pedant or an idiot.

Kindly get fucked, if you don't mind (I hope my English comes across well)

Ok it all makes sense in retrospect... thanks (synonymous with "They cannot afford to lose money")
