The problem with US charity is that it’s not effective enough
www.vox.com
The New York Times painted a misleading picture. Less than 0.2 percent of US charity is ruthlessly optimized.

Quotable quote from our very dear friends:

“Put differently: US philanthropy is still much, much, much more about rich guys like David Geffen slapping their names on concert halls than it is about donating to help people dying from malaria, or animals being tortured in factory farms, or preventing deaths from pandemics and out-of-control AI, to name a few EA-associated causes.”

Anyways, where does buying 20 million dollar castles/crypto fraud/rampant sexual exploitation/and shrimp welfare fit into all of this chief?

    I actually have a shrimp torture farm. It brings me infinite joy. However its running costs are quite high and I require donations to keep it going

      Thank you. My wife is deathly allergic to shrimp, and I live by the motto
