I was composing a critical comment, and then realized it doesn't matter that this guy makes. Even if he made only $50K there would be some criticizing how "well off" he is.

The moral here is to make a difference - and don't hesitate to give money (if that is what you have) based on the fear that it will me mismanaged or not help.




I would disagree with the latter half of the moral as stated. I think those are entirely reasonable concerns to hesitate in giving money to e.g. a specific charity.

That said, what I think you intend to get at - don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good - do some basic due diligence, but don't let "due diligence" freeze you into inaction - I agree with that.

(edit: I started a sentence without finishing it -_-;;)
