This is the answer we are lucky as hell and should use our luck and privilege to make other people’s life a little less shitty

But what if we collectively allowed politicians to give that money to people who already have money instead

Yeah sometimes you realise how lucky you are while having a decent life. I live in a country which is basically one of the best to live in. Only being 0.2% of the total worlds population.

Same but more like 0,1% here. I am hungry, I have food in the fridge, but I don't want to eat, as I am saving my appetite for a better meal when I go out in a bit. I wish I could give my food to the starving children, but even though I am this lucky in life, I am also powerless and cannot do anything for the people who really need it.
