I&#x27;m disappointed that this article excluded big groups making measurable improvements to &quot;other people&quot;&#x27;s lives, like The Gates Foundation and charities recommended by GiveWell (which include GiveDirectly, Against Malaria Foundation, and more).<p>In fact, the author went one step further and calls out the harm caused by specific charitable missteps. This is unfair since missteps in charity can occur all the same at home: you need to follow economic and social research to avoid them, but once you do you&#x27;ll be well set to be at worst neutral.<p>I get where the article is coming from--there are plenty of complex issues at home that we&#x27;re far more in-tune to understand and solve--but the content is biased against supporting groups that we know how to help in huge ways, and that Americans actually neglect in favor of close-to-home charities anyway (donations don&#x27;t tend to leave US borders).
