Wealth isn’t a threat to humanity — poverty is.

Ending unchosen poverty isn’t just kindness; it’s a deep investment in the economy.

It’s the foundation for maximizing intellect, creativity, resilience, and flourishing across generations.

Freedom thrives when more people can build, dream, and grow.

I'm pretty skeptical of initiatives to give technology to help people in very poor, very remote parts of the world. They have a tendency to break after a while, and just end up as garbage because it can't be repaired.

Seems worth supporting? What do you think?
