yes? why is that even a question. you have enough money to buy a phone and spare time to comment, just like me, while people die of hunger and thirst in Sudan: 50 dollars would buy life saving medicines and water treatment. but i spent it on a Spotify subscription and some weed. also, i stepped over a homeless guy on my way into the grocery store last week. |

This.
The evidence that it's possible is all around us. Right in our faces. That people believe that, somehow, other people will start caring when it's me who doesn't have water is a bit naive. Why would people not just step over a hypothetical "homeless me" on their way to get a Starbuck's?
It's even easier to ignore if the vast majority of such people are not on the streets, but safely hidden away in crappy parts of town struggling to afford their rent and food. That way the privileged don't have to see them.
Not saying it's good or right, just kind of saying, I mean, of course it's possible. It's the way things work right now.
If the poster didn't notice it works like this, chances are, they were always one of the people in the caravan who had the water.
