Very interesting, thanks for posting that.

Maybe what I'm also feeling here is an uneasiness I get whenever
someone (particularly corporations) take credit for "raising money" or
being "good fundraisers". Credit should always go to the people who
pay the money. According to those graphs, each day more than 10,000
people have made a donation, averaging close to $30. That's amazing.
