I am not in position to put my back into it as a founder - with one day job, and a major side project already I am running pretty thin. It's just really sad when I think about the situation (and of course, hackers are not the only people in this situation, it affects the entire society), but the best I was hoping for was was to prompt some discussion.
Of course if this thread would grab the eye of someone with unlimited resources who decided this would be a worthy cause to take up, that would be an extra special bonus, but I doubt that would happen.

Do you have a patreon maybe? I'd leave a tip - not much, but a few bucks from a few hundred people per month would still add up to something. That doesn't solve the systemic problems though. I'm heartened when I hear about the single payer system California just passed, but not really sure how that's going to work out yet... hoping for the best, at least it's a start...
- Mz 9y agoYes, I do have a Patreon, which I completely suck at promoting: https://www.patreon.com/MicheleinCalifornia https://www.patreon.com/MicheleinCalifornia I also have tip jars on multiple sites: http://micheleincalifornia.blogspot.com/p/my-sites.html http://micheleincalifornia.blogspot.com/p/my-sites.html And I hope you don't think I was trying to be snarky or shoot you down for asking. That wasn't my intent. I have spent a lot of years studying such problem spaces and I was just trying to delineate some of the issues you face when you are trying to solve anything in earnest.
