For some reason the BBC is obsessed with arguing, demonstrably incorrectly, that the answer to the housing crisis is filling empty homes. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

When the enormity of the world's horrors makes you feel helpless, narrow your focus. Find one stranger and scold them for posting a recipe while kids are dying. Call out a new mom for not adding alt text to a baby photo. Critique a selfie. Correct a joke. Show people you care more than them.
