This article is pessimistic at best, and downright wrong at worst.<p>Why can&#x27;t a 22 yr. old college graduate from Uganda be the one to finally break the logjam in the US about gun control?  Maybe different perspectives will find solutions to problems we haven&#x27;t come up with.  The Ugandan man&#x2F;woman might get hired by one of those &quot;nonprofit groups&quot; and actually solve this problem once and for all.  Who knows?<p>Why can&#x27;t a 22 yr. old college graduate from the US be the one to finally figure out how to get cheap water to remote villages in Uganda?  Why must it be someone from Uganda?  A then-40 something &quot;college dropout&quot; (we all know how irrelevant that is) from the US (Bill Gates) went to Africa and started working on the malaria problem.  Do you think he did it all by himself?  A bunch of 22 yr. old college grads helped him, along with a lot of others.<p>Is this satire?  It might be satire, because of how reductionist this article actually is, by claiming the problem is &quot;simply&quot; intractable.
