I think it's a fair guess that many members of the HN community are well off. As I encounter more and more developers, entrepreneurs, and others who visit this site regularly, I find that the question of whether one should feel obligated to give to charity becomes more relevant.
Thoughts?
- wgeorgecook 13y agoI don't think I'm the run of the mill HN user, but I'm an undergrad in biology. Still give to charity.
- oneeyedpigeon 13y agoYou shouldn't feel obliged to give to charity, but you definitely should give to charity
- humanrebar 13y agoWhy shouldn't someone feel obliged to give to charity?
- ChuckMcM 13y agoThere are financial donations and service donations. The latter can be much more effective. A really effective donation is spending one Saturday a month helping to fix computer problems at a non-profit of your choice. We also used to create refurbished computers for them out of donations from folks with excess computers.
