That’s thing about our world: If everything was divided equally we’d be all poor. So I don’t think it has much impact, maybe an ice cream for all?

It’s all about control. You can handle being still while water droplets fall on your forehead if you’re controlling them because you know when to anticipate it, however if an external force controls the droplets at random intervals, it becomes torture.
Similarly music you dont want to hear and cant control is often labeled as noise or a nuisance.

Sounds like a move in the right direction. I just hope the indigenous leaders have what it takes to fairly manage the land and won’t fall into corruption.

Just my hunch obviously, no one ever disagreed when I said it. Thought it was generally accepted just like the fact that the North-Western world is much richer than Africa or South America.
You never thought what would happen if we all gave half of our money to them? It could def fix poverty there.
