But by all means, enjoy your newest model iPhone.

Better yet, use it to Google Rovina Naboi, and read about the true costs of what you are holding in your hand.

Those epidemiologist state that the toll will continue to grow exponentially and may go unseen because it can take months or years for people to die from lack of treatments or vaccine-preventable illnesses—and because deaths are scattered.

You know what else will go on for decades? The death and dying in the third world countries, it is just getting going.

And your $1500 tax cuts that contributed to that need of killing off USAID? That will expire in 2 years, but your millionaire bosses tax cuts will go on for decades.

TWO THIRDS of them children.

400,000 dead kids in third world countries and your millionaire boss hasn't even filed the tax return yet where he'll pay $20,000 less in taxes, tax cuts which the USAID cuts were needed to offset.

....The chickens are already coming home to roost.

Epidemiologists from Boston University and Harvard have compiled data and it already show, in less that a year, there have already been 600,000 preventable deaths due to the cut in USAID funds.

So when Trump/DOGE/Musk cut USAID, there was some small uproar, myself included, being "chicken littles" running around saying "the sky is falling" due to this, people will die, but it was short lived, and so many other things have overwhelmed us.

And that is why it has always been incumbent on us to aid these poorest countries, to give back, to keep people from needlessly dying while we replace the supercomputer in our hand every two years because we have to have the newest model.

And much of our wealth/quality of life comes on the backs of the poor and impoverished from other countries. Through exploiting their labor with sweatshops and children workers, to diminishing their health by pillaging their lands for precious metals and minerals, to outright theft of their land.

A minimum wage worker in the US is better off, on income level, quality of life, and niceties/amenities they have in their life than 75% of the rest of the world.

Our poorest are among the richest.
