Ever since Balenciaga sent Bernie Sanders' 2016 campaign logo down the runway at Paris Fashion Week, the fashion world has been feeling the Bern. Designer Demna Gvasalia reprised the homage in his Fall 2017 women's collection, and just this week, the fast-casual saladiers at Sweetgreen went on to spoof that spoof with a "Burrata 2020" riff of their very own. Now, Burton's getting in on the action, and the team is putting their fellow Vermon'er front and center.
The world's coolest snowboard outfitter just dropped the "Burton Bernie Best Ever" capsule, featuring a long sleeve T-shirt and a jacket inspired by the Vermont Senator, with one very simple message: Vote. The limited tee is made in the USA from 100 percent cotton, and is available online now. The jacket, also super limited, is only available at the two Burton stores in Burlington, Vermont, so phone a friend.

Sanders Institute has little to show for first year and $500K
https://vtdigger.org/2018/07/29/sanders-institute-little-show-first-year-500k/
The Sanders Institute website launched on June 7, 2017, with 29,000 unique page views, according to IRS documents obtained by VTDigger. In the first two months of its existence, the site saw 126,000 visitors. With irregular updates and limited original content, traffic has taken a dive. The Sanders Institute saw roughly 12,300 unique page views in June 2018, according to Semrush, a website analytics company.
Some involved with Sanders political movement privately question the efficacy of the institute, but they declined to have their name attached to those comments for this article.
Jane Sanders wears many hats at the institute: founder, fellow, fundraiser and a non-voting member of the board of directors. The institute is being run by her son, David Driscoll, a political neophyte who previously worked at Burton Snowboards. His estimated salary for the job is $100,000.

(42,862 posts)In my opinion there are better organizations to donate to if one is looking to support actual causes rather than having so much of their donation go to "overhead" and salaries.
All I'm trying to say here is that I believe that donors should expect that their money will be efficiently, honestly and wisely allocated in such a way that it provides the greatest benefit to the cause or to the largest number of individuals. It's a perfectly reasonable expectation.
