Not to seem callous, but the first world could learn to live off of a little less.

Honestly this is what I keep saying and everyone gets pissed when I do.

There's enough resources on this planet that every living human could live a decently luxurious life. But because we allow a small handful of us to hoard all those resources we have poverty on a global scale.
