I didn’t say it didn’t exist, I took your quote just shrugging off doing anything because ‘half’ (lol) of people won’t accept help, and said “Hey what if we didn’t throw all of them out to die if some of them don’t want help.”
What a sad, self-centred view you have, where you can just plug your ears to people begging for help because you can demonize some of them.
Fantastic to hear from the NIMBY crowd though, sorry you have to suffer watching others suffer in your view sometimes.
