> I would rather see people be more scrutinizing when giving their money to others.

"I just wish everyone is better" is never a solution for anything that has mass appeal/is used by the general public. You can't ever depend that individual actions will solve a systemic issue, it's not realistic.

The same argument can be made for government intervention.

I don’t buy it, there are a ton of examples where not only does the gov get it wrong but also have the opposite effect of what they were trying to achieve. Good intentions is not realistic.

The systemic issue is education.

Tell me what systemic issues were solved by individual action. I'd really like to hear examples, I've never found them.
