An Experiment in Social Economics

We Want a Million Dollars is an almost interesting charity site. The hook is a scheme to provide a conduit for micro donations from as little as $1for an as yet undisclosed purpose. The donors will have some input in how the money is to be distributed.
Once you drill down into the details, the site is sponsored by a Christian charity, Feed the Children, in Oklahoma. No problem there. But…
When one drills down a bit further (farther?) turns out the site is a “wholly owned subsidiary” of FTC Transportation Inc. “a contract carrier offering truckload hauling throughout the continental United States…”
Shouldn’t take that much effort to learn who owns this experiment.
