your whole argument is things are worse in africa so they shouldnt get any more money. its a bullshit argument. everyone deserves to live a better life. with that argument we might as well go back to the robber baron days because people had it worse than the striking workers even back then. after all why should someone with 4 walls a roof and a bed complain about their working conditions, others have it worse. "oh your 7yo lost her right arm in an industrial accident? dont complain theres people who dont have any jobs to go to." great argument.
yes we as a whole global community should be doing a lot more for the least of us but most of the people that bring us entertainment arent swimming in gold pools ala scrooge mcduck. like the vast majority of americans they are barely getting by. and besides the money not going to everyone else making movies and tv shows arent going to make the lives of anyone else better but the studio execs and producers.
Sorry, I didn't read that long-winded comment.
You didn't seem like you had anything crucial to say, just trying to double-down on rich people getting richer at everyone else's expense.
