I hope he spends the money on pasta salad personally. I hate potato salad.
It sure lessen the value of a Kickstarter,but who cares,free money and potato salad!
People should give every penny above what is needed for the most basic essentials of life to charity. (well intentioned bait)
-Some charities spend money on so much overhead, you're better off throwing money (or buying meals to throw) at the homeless yourself.
-If you pay taxes, countless government programs help the needy.
-If you are handy at computer repair, maybe you'll be more useful refurbishing computers to give to underprivileged people rather than giving money to them. This goes if you have any professional skill. Your effort might be more valuable than your money.
-Maybe you should invest some of that money now so you have even more money later to donate. Bonus if you invest in yourself becoming a social worker or some other professional in order to do pro bono work for those in need.
-Maybe you should invest in ideas that do more or something different than a charity can. If your money can fund the development of something that wipes out a disease, or transports food/medicine/electricity to remote areas, for example.
Some of this is long term vs short term stuff. But there's more to helping those in need than donating money to charity.
There is no 'should'. I'm not even sure he has to even try making potato salad at the end. There's just no real point in trying to be over serious and worthy about what is essentially a stupid joke that has got a bit out of hand. I hope he spends the money on pasta salad personally. I hate potato salad.

There is a should: it's an editorial, so he can state his opinion. There is definitely a point in being serious, because it's a serious amount of money.
Given the context, it is a silly amount of money.
