Malnutrition and Disease. America is not a microcosm of the world, so even though education and poverty are a big deal here, they aren't going to be extremely helpful in the big picture. A great education is not essential to solving the world's problems, though it may be essential in order to get into a position to be taken seriously. While I'd like to see the government, big businesses, and megacorps pitch in a lot more money, even then it doesn't seem like that much money is required. They just need to use it.
However, I don't give all that much to charity, so I could certainly do better. And I don't understand the economics of everything. I could be looking in the wrong place.
