+ Hey {{ insert first_name 'default=Volunteers' }}, +

+

+ Sorry to burst the bubble, but there’s no Santa Claus 🎅🏼. There is, however, Riccardo—he has + organized a Sierra Leone chocolate sale at the Christmas market in Trentino to raise funds. What + a great initiative! +

+

+ Writing newsletters in HTML has its perks—like spying on what our devs are cooking up on + GitHub. Here are four things I’m especially excited about: +

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

+ Image + + Ismatu has raised nearly USD 50k with + her fundraiser—thanks to the awesome page XXXX built for her. Now he’s making it + for everyone. If you’re quick, I might even do a 🎄 fundraiser. No pressure, XXX… okay, maybe a little. +
+ Image + + Conducting impact surveys is great, but showing real impact? Even better—and long overdue. + XXX’s on it! +
+

+ PS. I asked a dev friend 👩🏻‍💻 what I could teach our volunteer devs who seem to know everything + already? Her reply: “Don't even try.” Well, I do it anyway. Did you know that adding “noopener” to + target="_blank" + is like locking a car that’s already in a garage, totally + unnecessary. And did you know? + Yes or No? +

+ Scrambling for last minute 🎄🎁 ? Create real impact by + donating in honor of your loved ones. As a thank you, I’ll send a + handwritten card by post or email straight to you or your recipient. Just shoot me an + email + after your donation, and I will get started spreading the holiday cheer. +

+
+
+

+ Now a quick update on a few other topics that have been on my mind lately. +

+
+ + + + +
+
+

+ Drowning Doubts +

+

+ When I think of Peter Singer, the + + drowning child experiment + is the first thing that comes to my mind. He also + + argues against prioritizing help for affluent neighbors over distant people in need. Let Peter + reset your moral compass. +

+
+

+ When the expense is insignificant relative to the harm you can prevent, then you must act. +

+

+

+ Truly Random +

+

+ Helping one person means not helping another, so the selection process is a challenge. We make a pool + of eligible individuals in poverty with our + partner NGOs. Then we randomly select recipients using some crazy math. It’s + all nicely presented on this + new selection page. +

+

+ If you’re into key derivation functions, click + here. If you’re a normal human, click + here. +

+
+ + + + +
+
+

+ Tax War +

+

+ It’s one thing to discuss solutions to inequality; it’s another to address its roots. + Unfair tax systems are a major factor, and powerfully illustrated + in the + movie Tax War. Look for the moment when + US President Joe Biden + points out, “Fifty-five of the largest corporations in America made $40 billion in profits and paid + zero federal taxes—zero?!” +

+

+ Short on time? Watch Rutger shout + Taxes, taxes, taxes + to millionaires at the WEF. +

+
+ + + + +
+
+

+ Mars sucks +

+

+ For Mars fans among us, + this video + gets straight to the point: + + Let’s care for our own planet first before dreaming about colonizing others. + And above all, let’s first take care of the people who call Earth home. So saddle up, + space cowboys. It may get bumpy for a while. +

+ +

+ Did you know that our + moon rotates around the sun + instead of the Earth? +

+

+ 2 undecillion +

+

+ A Russian court fined Google + + two undecillion roubles + + for restricting Russian state media channels on YouTube. In dollar terms that means that + + the tech giant has been told to pay $20 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000. +

+

+ I wish our + fundraiser with Ismatu + could achieve such dizzying heights. +

+
+ + + + +
+
+

+ 1.36 billion +

+

+ The power of cash transfers became clearer than ever during Covid. + 1.36 billion individuals + worldwide, or + one in six people, received at least one cash transfer payment. + About half of the population of East Asia and North America were covered, and about one-tenth of + Africa. +

+
+ + + + +
+
+

+ 1.62 +

+

+ In 2023, the U.S. fertility rate dropped to an all-time low of + 1.62 children per woman, well below the replacement rate of 2.1 that would keep the population size constant. + Even with massive subsidies, birth rates globally aren’t budging. + Turns out, the real question isn’t “Can I afford a baby?” but “What’s the point of one?” +
