We are the fortunate ones, so what can we do for the others?
What do I take for granted (off the top of my head):

1) Clean water from a tap
2) Hot water
3) Refrigeration
4) The ability to secure my property
5) Easy long distance communication
6) Abundance of food
7) The ability to waste time thinking about the mundane--not worried about mere survival or violence.
8. Aspirin
9. Antibiotics
10. Trash removal

Those are ten obvious ones.

What do we do? The problems are so large. For me, it comes down to quietly help people and vote according to what you value.
