That being said, I do not think giving money to eff is enough to get the changes necessary to be implemented. I am at a loss for what could be done you actually make change happen and am open if anyone has suggestions or other links to take a look at.
I admire the libertarian sentiment on HN but I think it would be greatly beneficial to everyone to have more thoughtful, smart and balanced people running our Governments.
“Smart, thoughtful” people who are happier in the private sector is exactly who currently runs our governments. So your plan is already in action.
If you have time and money left over after that, the EFF isn't the worst place to spend them.
