> It's not a problem that can be solved by my "wealth and power" (both of which are in rather meager supply).
You have an observation shared with thousands of millionaires in NYC.
I'm helping my company setup a software development office in South Africa. It won't do much, but it'll provide half a dozen individuals with well paying jobs and diffuse some wealth we collect from Fortune 500 companies.
I'm also planning a trip to a developing country, paid for by that government, to deliver a class to local CS graduates there on how to become a contractors working with projects paying $50+ an hour. It won't do much but if I can help one or two individuals do this I'd be very happy. I was lucky when I traveled there for vacation, managed to talk to someone who works with the government's ministry of education.
I've only been working full time as a software engineer and formally graduated only last May and this is what I'm doing.
My wealth and power is likely more meagre than yours - but it is a lot less meagre than many others.
I hope one day you'll find your own way to help solve problems you see in this world, too.

I agree with you. See my reply to SwellJoe.
