I hope it’s clear I couldn’t agree more on the gospel of Portlandia. As for how much of what I want to do is actually helping “their” real needs, I think I would just have to repeat myself: Economic disparities are undeniable and charity isn’t helping. Hire different people, and accept cultural differences, beyond mere sightly identification. Don’t ignore the impact of culture comforts which undermine relationships necessary for sustainable societies. Be honest, put business second. In short, do the stuff churches did, if that’s even possible.
