It's no mystery. 76000 millionaires who care about their own interests and money instead of poverty aren't fixing local poverty. They could do a lot to address causes and symptoms to point of a great transformation. They just don't want to. End of story.
Now, knowing they don't want to or put in little effort, what's the next plan for people wanting to end poverty over there that factors this in as a base assumption?
- Tempest1981 10y agoI really don't think it's about money or lack of empathy, as you imply. SV is largely liberal -- witness climate change efforts. If there was a clear solution, I suspect they would back it with their money.
- nickpsecurity 10y agoThere's a difference between liberal and willing to put much of one's fortune into making others well off. They could be doing all kinds of investments, lobbying, etc that would reduce poverty as a side-effect.
