when your local community is well enough that it no longer needs a hand out, you can then spread your local further
What is "well enough?"
If $100 locally can help 3 people survive but $100 globally helps 30-300 people survive, when is it the right time to stop giving locally?
"Give locally" is quipy and has some truth, but there is nuance it excludes.
Good point. $100 in the Philippines is a shitload of money. My wife's ex-husband took a large group (12 people I think?) of her friends and family out to a nice seafood restaurant. $50 tab, including a generous tip.
But there's something to be said about raising yourself up before you can help others.
My community and the planet in general would be awesome if resources were distributed equitably.
No "charity" is ever going to fix that.
