why not invest that money in the places that gave them that money. Helping AIDS in Africa is fine and dandy, but they aren't going to find the cure there. Funding education in first world countries is where you find cures to diseases, sending the money overseas just comes back to lining the pockets of pharmaceutical companies that probably have no real desire to see a cure for AIDS anyways. I know if I was running a drug company I'd see a cure for any major disease as a hit to our bottom line, so I'd shelve that R&D down loooow. |
I'll ignore the conspiracy theory there.
Just a thought, but maybe they need money because they have so very few of their needs met, in a "right now" kind of situation?
The living standards in the US, despite your criticisms in the other thread, are far higher those in the countries you're talking about in Africa. In many cases, these people don't even have running water, let alone a decent food source, or even basic education. How can you say that money is poorly spent?
Also, Gates and Buffet are rich as fuck. It's their money, let them do what they want with it

I'll be blunt, giving those people money or spending money to improve basic needs has little to no return on investment. Keeping them alive for a generation longer...? What is the point?
They got themselves into that situation, countries need to look out for their own interests first and I see no interest in helping a poor child in Africa. As brutal as that sounds, its logical to me.

Oh, it's still cold to you Aussie ****s but to us, after a winter with weeks at -10c, +15c feels fucking wonderful.
