In the real world, not enough techies are willing to work on solving problems related food shortages (for example), while people are starving to death.
That’s because in the real world we’re all fighting to escape the threat of homelessness and starvation which is a constant spectre haunting any “techie” who is paying attention enough to see what’s going on.
Personally speaking: when me and mine are safe I’ll be dedicating 100% of my remaining life to outreach, teaching and non-profit work.
But as long as you’re dependant on another man to feed you every week you’re not safe: you’re helpless. That’s true regardless of if that man is a non-profit or if it’s a megacorp.
Starvation is not the same as Hunger, it’s a significantly more advanced stage of the thing.
I believe there’s even a 5-level UN scale for it and Gaza is at the worst level.
PS: Not seeing why it’s not valid to worry and act on both, by the way: doing something about World Hunger is not in any way incompatible with doing something about the Gaza Genocide.
Your whole point is grounded on the Falacy called a False Dilemma Falacy that you used a few posts ago, hence why it’s not logical - it’s really not an EITHER-OR choice, especially for people working at Google which is a company that does absolutelly nothing at all when it comes to reduce World Hunger.
Oh wow, people are talking about it.

I’m not rich, I chose to earn less money and live a lower quality apartment.
We don’t have many years to work on solutions. You may never have enough for you and yours.
You’re referring to the people in Gaza starving to death because of food shortages, right ?
Ten percent of humans suffer from hunger. This is much bigger than just Gaza.
