I stopped watching and the numbers still went up! I am starting to believe that maybe the refrigerator light really does go off when the door is shut!
The Amazon/Red Cross figure is now $9,478,527.00 -- surely not stingy Americans, I bet time will prove that Scandinavian governments are driving the totals up.
I asked my friend yesterday if we should be short Amazon, thinking they were eating the credit card charges (3% of 10M is $300,000). He assured me that Amazon has a pretty special relationship with the credit card folks and will probably pay little or nothing on this.
Happy New Year everybody! Cheers!
