On: Come here and work on hard problems – except the ones on our doorstep

This seems like a good time to remind everyone that there's a known method for reducing human misery you can do right now.

Give some money. This won't help the person on your doorstep, but it is probably the best way to convert money into well being. And you can look yourself in the mirror and say that even though the world is quite fucked up, you are doing _something_ about it.
