True, but I don’t think donations really do much if your goal isn’t to do something. Better to donate $1 to the Fred Hollows foundation than to donate $10,000 to the Seeing Eye foundation. (The first gives cataract surgeries for one 20,000th the price the second gives guide dogs.) Also, that wouldn’t explain why he implied he gives to multiple charities. It would only explain him suggesting to other people to do it.

How is that the price ratio? Are the cataract doctors all volunteering their time? Are dogs astronomically more expensive than I think they are, or are there no volunteer seeing eye dog trainers to be had...?

The cataract doctors are in third-world countries where labor is cheap.
