There are funny videos of Swedish people advocating for immigrants and then balking when being asked to commit to taking an immigrant into their home.
I've found people are long on advice and short on actual help. When people offer me advice, I usually turn it back around on them to see if they are willing to help.
Recently I was taking care of some shared property repairs and received a lot of complaints that the cost was too high. I asked people for their help on finding a better price and , just as expected, they couldn't.
Everything seems trivial and deterministic until you actually embark on the solution. The hard part is actually completing the task.
Lesson: the world is short on help. If you want to help, pick up a broom. Lead, follow or get out of the way.
