I wish every dollar spent on video games was just given to the world’s poor instead. Just crazy that with all the suffering in the world, billions of people spend money on frivolous entertainment.
- ethanbond 5y agoPeople who play video games don’t act like video games are a technological gift from god that will cure all our woes and for which there are no negative externalities.
- cute_boi 5y agoThe problem here is we simply can't. If people were good and elites cared about plebs we wouldn't be in situation where there are poor peoples. Tax money would suffice in many cases. Lets say we spent every dollar spent on video games. But once we start draining money to these countries human greed starts to activate and only few amount of money will reach to hands to poor. When I was kid my parents used to tell me for every donation of 100 only 10 goes to poor people (can't verify). But if we go to visit poor country we will realize money is not that big problem. The biggest problem is greed, corruption and malfeasance.
