I dunno, but we could ask Timothy Leary, I heard he knows a thing or two about that

Probably not normal to call them a manager of financial crime though. I'd at least expect a word like prevention or investigation to be thrown in there (though it was probably some idiot who messed up the job posting). Also, I'm not willing to give them the benefit of the doubt on being fraudulent. Banks get caught doing fraud all the time and have no incentive to stop because in recent years the punishments, if there are any, are not at all a disincentive.

Maybe?

I mean this article was posted 3 hours ago:

“Utah's snowpack is officially the highest it has ever been in the middle of March, in more than 40 years.”

Quote from a Utah state senator a couple of days ago. You can't make this stuff up.

“A couple of years ago, Governor Cox got soundly mocked by left-leaning liberal media for asking Utahns to come together in faith and prayer, no matter what their denomination or faith was, to pray for precipitation,” Henderson said.

“We’ve got a lot more to do, and there’s a lot more water that we need, but we are experiencing some potentially record-setting precipitation levels this winter. Thank you for your prayers, and I want to say thank you for sticking it to the liberal pundits,” Henderson told delegates.

In June of 2021, Cox called for a “weekend of prayer,” asking Utahns of all faiths to pray for rain to help rescue the state from the grip of a multi-year drought. Cox’s call for prayer as drought relief was ridiculed by several prominent media figures, including comedian John Oliver on his “Last Week Tonight” HBO program.

Henderson also reportedly delivered some version of her comments at Republican Party events in Weber and Cache Counties on Saturday.

And it didn’t work?! Huh must be gods will then

They did. The governor literally asked people to pray for rain last year.

Utah punches way above their weight on r/nottheonion

It's to late, they are not even delaying the inevitable

Tumang lik pashang !

The farms are nonprofits and provide food for those in need.

Oh, so they can afford that god awful stupid Salt Lake Pacific Pipeline idea.

As 20,000 acre feet of water rights will no longer be diverted for agriculture, the Lake will benefit greatly.

If that's gambling, they must be the house.

I see you, Beratna.

After the donation, many water shares does the church still own?

It's so they can build the first generational spacr ship and travel to Tau Ceti

Every f'n time!!

Smart man

I wonder why people have this distrust. To be clear, I have no problem with them using the money for aid or sending people on mission trips, but there’s a lot of shady stuff that goes on financially.

Fuckin same

There's a difference between self-sufficiency and becoming a megacorp. It may have started as a necessity, but now its just a tax dodge. Given that the LDS church basically runs Utah politics these days, it's pretty disingenuous to claim necessity at all at this point.

They should just pray for water.

Yeah and people are suckers for cheap PR. Although sometimes I wonder if those comments are even real.

Everytime I read LDS church, I read it as LSD church, and I wonder what I'm missing out on.

The Church uses farmland, ranches, and other facilities to produce the aid we send out. It makes its own donations rather than rely on the good will of corporations giving when they feel like it.

I know many distrust the business activities of the Church, but it all stems from necessity. When we first became a church pretty much no one liked us so we had to make a life by ourselves. Especially when we exiled ourselves out to Utah and people would refuse to even sell to us prior to that. The Church has had to be self-reliant and the businesses it operates come from that tradition of self-reliance.

Of course. I thought it was a bit of a tongue-in-cheek posting.
