      On the other hand, my car wasn't just still running, umm, it was scratch-proof and theft-proof—stick-shift, which nowadays apparently means thieves can't drive off with it.😁 So we collectively raised a bunch of money.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/815331937120382976 …

      Ha! I put up a Honda Civic replacement! A Bentley I drove would lose half its value in about a week. Exhibit A: my current bumper. pic.twitter.com/xlC8AGvN9F

      Now it's 2021 and Yemen is still suffering but now there's a pandemic on top of it all. Meanwhile, even food aid is being cut. No money. It's unconscionable. It's just cash. Pixels on a screen. Entry in a crypto wallet. Meanwhile, millions of kids are severely malnourished.pic.twitter.com/0BcEghcsOz

      Burundi has somewhat similar challenges. It was already fragile, from war and poverty, but now there's a pandemic. It faces other epidemics, and even when COVID-19 vaccines arrive, the resources for distribution aren't there. Even healthcare workers are unvaccinated. See: ~0%.pic.twitter.com/ytSrialM7K

      Meanwhile, my Civic also made it to 2021. 200K+ miles, and quadruples in value when I put my bike on it but it does run. I signed it over to a friend's son, and brought my bike to NYC instead.😁 So I'm doing an MSF fundraiser again, matching $20K. https://events.doctorswithoutborders.org/campaign/zeynepmatch2021 …pic.twitter.com/ldOpA3xYeE

      For the record, I do *not* like fundraising. We have so much cash slushing around the world. Asset bubbles everywhere. Interest rates can barely move. Why can't we have fair taxation, and none of this fundraising bludgeoning for basic rights—healthcare, food security. Madness.

      But the way one wishes the world worked doesn't change the current plight of those suffering right now. *Some* problems are hard. Finding some money to alleviate widespread severe malnutrition and lack of healthcare during a pandemic? That should be easy, with our wealth.

      So here it is. A tax-deductible way to donate to an organization that is on the ground in many places in crisis, with overwhelmingly local staff. You can donate below. If you had a good financial year and want to contribute? DM me to add to the match! 🙏https://events.doctorswithoutborders.org/campaign/zeynepmatch2021 …

      This is true. (Also, yes, ideally, all this is infrastructure that should be funded like infrastructure).https://twitter.com/christina_varga/status/1475536515329667074 …

      This is a great and generous initiative and I’m also suggesting that, instead of a one-time donation, people consider automated monthly donations, which gives MSF some stability in funding (saying this because that’s what I do).
