I was amazed how much the government is willing to listen to the people, when they really worked hard to get what they want. Like, the Pickapal, I was surprised that they amended it just weeks after they announced that Pickapal should close down. I’m a little confused though as to why the bus company can ask the government to do something like that. They specifically said that carpooling should always be inconvenient, and Pickapal doesn’t follow that “rule.”
Also, I was a little disappointed that Korean teenagers teamed up to stop the importing of beef from here in the United States knowing that their reason is that their favorite singer is against the importation. But still, it was another successful collaboration. According to the book, thousands of people participated, so the government had to listen to them.
Another point that struck me is the fact that the AOL “volunteers” sued AOL for not paying them. It was their choice to stay in AOL even though it became an advertising company. If they didn’t like the fact that it changed to an advertising company, they should have quit a long time ago. Plus, they shouldn’t sue AOL for not paying them for the times that they have worked for them because they are just VOLUNTEERS.
About Chapter 3, the one that got me really curious is that how much did the GrobanitesForCharity had to expend to make the project successful. According to the book, they didn’t even take a cent from the income and that they used their own money to cover for the expenses. It was also mentioned that they even made t-shirts and other things that must have cost a lot of money. I was curious as to what their real motive is. At first, I really believe that it’s all for Josh Groban. In the end, I think that it’s more on the fact that they actually want to help people. They raised so much money and worked so hard to make it successful even though they’re not going to get paid.
