      Shouldn’t be that far away from them in the first place if you actually cared.

        This is fucking hilarious. Do you know that sometimes, people go elsewhere for economic opportunities? Then they bring their children after they get settled in?

        Sometimes they go back, and leave the children there.

        Do you think those kids should be stranded?

              The ultimate quest for wealth is worth destroying the planet.

              Also vast majority of people take planes for leisure, I’m sure we can deal without them. People used to travel the world in sail boats and they still managed to get where they wanted to go.

                I don’t think you understand - I can live poor and destitute without a job in my hometown, or leave to find work somewhere else. This is the reality of many Americans in rural America.

                This isn’t a quest for “wealth”, it’s a quest for life
