Much like people will go to JCPenney just so those damn screaming ads will stop?

I'm sensing a new Rick Roll potential in those.

Actually the group that was working in front of the Kroger I went to was good. They had a number of horn players that took turns there, so most of the time you went to the store, instead of just a bell, there was somebody playing Christmas music on their instrument.

But if the government had just mandated that people donate they could have raised billions!

Maybe the working people are feeling a sense of obligation to help out all the jobless...? still, $150M is pitifully small compared to the insane scale of financial & political power gaming behind the mess

There's also that the S.A. has an efficiency rating of only 82%, placing them in 4th place behind United Way, UNICEF and American Red Cross
