Possible to treat the result of feelings of help in society as numerical values?

The end of the year! These days when something is frustrating. At the end of the year, it may be the end of the fiscal year, and financial problems will emerge from the budget. To be clear, the periods when the lack of economic space becomes apparent are November and December, and at that time, various charity activities are carried out on the streets.

  • We cannot deny the trend of spending at the end of the year,
  • Expenses increase at the end of the year,

Since fund-raising activities are based on the premise of helping others in need,

I do not know the origin of the Salvation Army in detail. However, it seems that such activities are still continuing around the world. Is the Salvation Army in Canada powerful? It seems that they have been doing fund-raising activities for a long time in each city. Large companies such as Canadian Tire are actively cooperating.
It seems that the money raised by the Salvation Army is planned in advance. There were so many donations last year, so this year will be so much. It is predicted in this way, and fundraising activities are conducted with that in mind.
Of course, the collected funds will be spent as social funds for social welfare, so I would like to accept predictions and plans. There is no reason why people can help each other whimsically.
However, since fund-raising activities are based on the premise of helping others in need, can it be planned?
Is it possible to treat the result of feelings of help in society as numerical values? This question is one of the reasons why I am not familiar with the Salvation Army.

We cannot deny the trend of spending at the end of the year,

We cannot deny the trend of spending at the end of the year, such as gifts and eating out. As for spending increases, stores will revise their sales forecasts. It is emphasized that the price is low at the store. 30% discount on the Christmas tree and a 40% discount on decoration. What is sold is no longer a product but a price.
Those on the spending side don’t really want to spend, but they are willing to spend. As a solution to these contradictions, consumers are looking for low-priced products. Those on the selling side increase the number of transactions by setting the selling price low and secure the total amount of sales. This is the mechanism for the mass shipping of low-priced products. I noticed it now.

Expenses increase at the end of the year,

which makes money sense subtle. At times like this, we sometimes donate money. If you don’t donate, you’ll drink a little liquor because you’ve worked hard this year. I think that is necessary for the sense of looking back on life and making milestones.
