Objectively, a tragedy that killed 83 times as many people is deserving of at least the same funding as a local tragedy, I would hope. That said, locality bias

Objectively, a tragedy that killed 83 times as many people is deserving of at least the same funding as a local tragedy, I would hope.
That said, locality bias is a strong thing, and to some degree what makes us human. I don't find it to be critical, merely descriptive of the way people work.
