Empathy is the motivation and starting point. Even if you don't go beyond that step you can vote for those that will.
"Sometimes problems are just hard. Taking ownership and feeling empathy and sincerely wanting to solve the problem does not render them easy."
No one said it did and it's better than not caring at all.
- Kalium 4y agoWhile I agree that empathy is the motivation and starting point, I do want to note that a lot of people in this discussion do seem to sincerely believe that this problem would be easy for Google to solve if they just cared enough. The framing of "Google's product designers should talk to my unhoused friends" in the tweet linked seems invested in this idea. What if the most empathetic answer here is "This isn't really the right service for you"?
