And yeah not to begrudge anyone their personal crusades but on the macro scale it looks really bad to sink tremendous money and PR and effort into curing diseases that you mostly don't get until you hit middle age, because WE get them, while kids still die of malaria all the time

This irks me with (local, not foreign NGO) philanthropy in India where I see a bunch of the rich techie class donating to hospitals. Start paying an actually fair share in taxes and invest in public health infrastructure if you want to do good, not this vanity bullshit.
