The problem with US charity is that it’s not effective enough

“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.

Pretending otherwise, though, lets more complacent philanthropists off the hook for refusing to think through the consequences of their actions.”
