Only partially right. Writing a check she can do very easily, so she gets little social credit for that. Simpler reason: virtue signaling reaches new heights when you can force OTHER people besides yourself in doing things that will give you social credit - a bit like the ritual burning of goods and savings in some pacific tribes: if you do it yourself, you need some witnesses, and you will get less social credit than if you can social engineer a large party where everybody is a witnesses and more people engage in the ritual burning of goods. It must not just be painful and wasteful, but also as hard as possible. It's a bit like a reverse proof of work!
