| schestowitz | The Western world does not mourn much. The West only cares when rich "white people" die. I think it's a cultural illness in the West, and one that won't be cured imminently. Had that been a place like Louisiana, they would send in helicopters from all corners of the world to reduce death toll. Actually, given the aftermath of hurricane Katrina, I guess the US would have to be the exception here because it does not care much | Dec 20 20:00 |
| schestowitz | for its citizens. If you recall Katrina (2004 IIRC), what the US government did was take care of the rich people, but since many of the affected people were Africa-American the government just neglected them, sent out mercenaries, and in some case shot them. Saving lives is a complicated thing and the hypocrisy on this is a subject my dad knows very well about. | Dec 20 20:00 |

| schestowitz | Global warming may contribute to that and a lot of the disaster is preventable, as Japan proved to an extent. But it is a matter of wealth and not a matter of preparation or goodwill. Manila, for instance, will not received the understructure that can improve life there unless he (or she) who lays down the foundation can somehow make a profit from it. Today's extreme capitalism prioritises self interest and not commonwealth. | Dec 20 20:04 |
| schestowitz | Those natural disaster (not purely natural because we indirectly cause them) affect regions near the equators a little more, but since the world's superpowers are far from that latitude/longitude most affected, there will be no incentive (or symbolic incentive at best) to address the problem at the core, at the cost of personal sacrifice to modern lifestyle. | Dec 20 20:04 |

| schestowitz | There are man-made remedies that can probably mitigate the issues, such as those water barriers that Japan created at great cost to its citizens. Shelter facilities too can help. | Dec 20 20:09 |
| schestowitz | The real solution is to try to address the problem at home, as I often explain to people. Saying stuff like, "we do them a favour by sending them helicopters or paying them X wage" is hardly a solution of economic injustice. Trying to find a way to resolve the anomalies in lifestyle goes a long way, but not many people are eager enough to actually put their money where their mouth is. | Dec 20 20:09 |
