Cool article! I enjoyed reading it. Seems like a great way to apply effective altruism style thinking into a different cause area.
My main takeaway from this is currently domestic aid is not neglected but highly ineffective. Making something that already has lots of resources going into it (and a lot more people willing to put resources into it) much more effective can be extremely impactful.
I’m curious how likely it is for US domestic aid to be a lot better given that a lot of people care about making it go well / political resistance.
