What have you done yourself here about it? For myself, nothing.

Oh get the fuck out with that. Not writing disingenuous feelgood bullshit, pretending that I work for some kind of greater good, while actually I'm pushing my own company, and trying to shift burden onto the "young digital natives". For a start.

  I don't know about the United States of America, but in my country it's very common to do volunteer work.

    > I don't know about the United States of America, but in my country it's very common to do volunteer work. Your business plan for America: 1. Live in an unknown country Z that's not the US, about which you don't know much. 2. Do volunteer work in Z, consisting of doing highly unknown stuff X for a secret number of minutes per year Y. 3. ... 4. Imply unknown profits for Z 5. The US implements a copy of the unknown volunteering in unknown country Z 6. ... 7. Imply enough unknown profits for the US to fix all of its unspecified problems. Am I missing something, like known or unknown unknown?

      What exactly is your problem? You could just ask, if you're genuinely curious.

I would imagine the HN demographic pays quite a bit in taxes, both state and federal. One would think that in 2025, in one of the wealthiest countries on Earth, we could at least solve food insecurity.

  We're not going to solve food insecurity when one major political party thinks it's kind of a problem but not big enough to actually do something about, and the other major political party is doing whatever they can policy-wise to increase food insecurity.
