Natural selection in action. Those who have resources will try to use them to assure their survival and the survival of their families. Resources can be "wealth" or actual physical resources. The response is the same.
Don't like it? Bitch at Gaia and Darwin, not here.
GZ - you miss the point.
You bitch about the fact that nothing is being done or the wrong things are being done and I'm simply pointing out why.
I would also argue that your "triage" is occuring right now and the selections on who lives and who dies is decided by $.
Such is the way it is and always has been so if you are ok with that then sit back and watch.
I'm not ok with it not because I'm poor, I will fare better than most, I just think it stinks and if people understood this better, and they just might at some point, they are going to think it stinks too.
