        I'm sure that you use your status and resources to make a difference in many areas. You can't do it all, but justice reform is needed for a lot of things. @ScottHech writes about other problems with the system that are particularly egregious too.

        Yeah, I know. I've donated a lot to trying to eliminate the death penalty, which is arguably the worst problem in the sense that innocent people are getting killed because of it. But I know the problem is all of a piece.

        Agree... We need to find better ways to solve medical needs and treat those as basic human needs
