i feel like this wouldn't have been as well received if it weren't preceded by the holiday hole. CaH has kind of built a reputation where they do silly things with silly amounts of money. Because they spent last november literally dumping money in a pit, they can fairly easily avoid criticisms about how this isn't a perfect scheme with the "it's better than throwing money in a pit" excuse.

And i don't in any way mean this as a criticism. There's a lot of benefit to be had in experimenting with non-perfect ways to help the poor, but way too often those projects are criticized harshly for being imperfect. I love that CaH is able to do this.
