so all these other countries could provide the funding they need, but wont?
Helping these folks should be something we want to do as humans, not as part of our political cycle, or something our government forces us to do, IMO.
Has any critical commenter here contributed funds to this new ebola outbreak? Or do you just want to mandate that other people donate?
How do you choose to help?
It’s not right or wrong, it’s just the decisions we’ve made about the kind of world we choose to live in.
Think about other problems like hunger or health care in the United States. These are problems we have created for ourselves! We could choose to fix them and instead choose not to.
There's more than enough resources to provide every single person a reasonable existence; We just don't think the homeless, for instance, should be freely helped to get housing. Nah, can't have that, how else can we point to "those" people as examples of the kind of life not conforming gets you?
We'd rather millions go to bed hungry instead of not propping up national markets by destroying food and providing subsidies.
Instead, we house a tiny few in nice apartments in high COL cities.
They’re still solvable but we simply do not value solving them.
A million here, a million there, after awhile it starts to add up.
Fill in any situation where someone is in need, one has the ability to help with little inconvenience, but one choose not to because other people aren’t helping.
