I didn't lug the bricks miles from the nearest road! >Do you have a link where I could? https://thejunipertrust.org/ https://thejunipertrust.org/ >You want 1000 schools you need 1000 schools worth of raw materials and 1000 crews to build them and roads to get all that stuff there and utilities to be extended to cover it. If you had $10M to spend, then building 1000 small schools probably wouldn't be the best approach. For the reasons you say. But I don't have $10M to give. >our society is set up to allow for billionaries and you think it should be fairer and that all that money should be easy to spread around more equitably Yes. Rich people should be taxed more. Not a popular viewpoint on HN, I'm sure. >But it's not, and it can't be in any feasible way. We could fix it, if we wanted to. But the billionaires have the power, and they don't want it fixed. >You don't get that it's 100% cognitive dissonance to believe that Nepal is any different? The only difference is the scale of the numbers. Nepal is a poor country with chronic inequality. But, because it is a poor country, your dollar can do a lot more good there.
