    In the end, the entire world is in poverty while 2000 people are rich beyond their wildest dreams.

    Its awfully dismissive to pull the “starving kids in China” card

      Uhh, no. My entire point was people conflating needs with wants and you’re doing just that.

      “Living in poverty compared to billionaires” is not the same as starving.

          Yeah, those with food insecurity should get more before those without it.

          The problem is, some people conflate “I can’t afford to eat out everyday” with “needing more money.” No. Just because you have to cook your own meals doesn’t mean your needs aren’t being met.

          You can buy a pound of bologna for $1.50 at Walmart, for example. But the people I’m referring to are “too good” for that. They believe they should get more before others who have less. Are you one of them?
