Henry Ford had the best insight into charity: real charity is work you do yourself or money you give directly to people affected or by doing work that makes the whole world better. Fake charity is giving it to orgs that never want to actually solve the underlying issue or everyone loses their job.

Government regulation
Few people are shown the enormous downsides of too much government regulation. It’s hard to see on your own. Every industry uses special interest lobbying (like the taxi industry did trying to block ride sharing) and usually gets laws passed that harm consumers and benefit themselves.

They might look like an annoying HOA board at first that wants to regulate the color of your house and your landscaping. However, when you give the far left an inch, they will take a mile.
