People are willing to be uncomfortable to achieve their goals.
The first person interviewed is from China and it reminded me of an article I read in the English paper in Shanghai.
A government official was chatting foreign busy Bodies by saying that the comparison isn't to Western wealth, it's to itinerant Farmers sleeping in the fields at night.
For some people having a roof over your head and for solid walls is an improvement

- ASalazarMX 2y ago> the comparison isn't to Western wealth It is built right in the middle of western wealth, it's crazy to say "this island of exploitation is fine because poor people exist elsewhere" with a straight face. Expensive, minimal standards "home", but think how it will make your dreams come true!
- AnimalMuppet 2y agoAll right, compare it to sleeping on the streets of San Francisco at night. That exists right in the middle of western wealth, too.
- readthenotes1 2y agoIt is fine because they consider their options to be worse. The comparison is sane because it's trying to point out how entitled we are.
