Meanwhile today I saw a lady throwing a fit because the store had run out of eggnog

[@djdeemz7651]

Was she ok ? Hope you called an ambulance for her and got her to therapy… poor poor woman, maybe some kids from Africa can do a fund raiser for her so Christmas isn’t spoiled for her

[@MoniqueDamphousse73]

She could get off her Karen butt and make some herself. It's not hard to do.

[@Kelly-si1rz]

I get your sentiment but this is exactly how we often turn our attention away from what's really important. Although this probably isn't your aim..bringing up a random lady's ignorance over her lack of eggnog has the potential to start an entire conversation about 'her' and other types of spoiled ppl. Although we just watched a heart wrenching video about those in need; we sometimes tend to trade in our compassion toward the needy for excusable anger toward some idiot...giving them our energy. It would be nice if videos like this would make us completely forget about 'thee unimportant'. Blessings 🖤✌🏽

As an American, i didn't understand real poverty until I left the U.S to go on a medical mission trip. Even our poorest area cannot compare to developing countries.

[@AdegboyegaAare]

The interest irony is that I live on the other side of Makoko in Lagos. My side is a developed landfill area with modern housing and infrastructure, but across the third mainland bridge is makoko. I do hope the government will one do something to help.

[@y_fam_goeglyd]

I honestly don't want to sound like a fear monger, but you said it's on developed landfill. You (and everyone else there of course!) need to get a well-qualified surveyor out every so often to check for two things - sharing the cost between the residents, e.g. street by street, should reduce the financial burden. Movement of the land beneath the buildings (watch out for cracks in building walls, inside and out), and test for leaking gasses, especially methane. The surveyor (who should be independent from the local government) should be able to tell you how often your area should be checked. Like I said, I honestly don't want to scare you, and I obviously don't know how well the preparation work was done before the building. Hopefully it was done as well as humanly possible. But I know what damage a landslide can do and it's terrifying. If any of your area is raised up, that will need the most testing. My father was a "rescuer" (he only recovered bodies of children the same age as my older sisters) at the Aberfan disaster, where almost an entire generation was killed. Even though he lived to 88, he never got over it. I'm really sensitive to landfill and "man-made hills" as a result. I pray that you are 100% safe and will stay that way throughout a long & happy life. 🫂

Why isn't North Korea on here?

[@kirstybrown1185]

There aren’t any statistics on NK because they aren’t provided. You can’t compare something you know nothing about against actual statistics. We know it’s bad but we can’t say it’s worse than someone with no water access because we don’t know if they have regular water access. 😅 This is also you stating you’d rather live in either a war torn city, or a city with heightened gang activity, which I can’t say I would. Finally, name the city you believe is worst, that’s the context of the list. I can’t say I know of a single city where we have any level of data from to say that’s the worst. I get your direction but it would be lazy journalism, at best. 🤷‍♀️

My God. I struggle to breath when the AQI is at 24 or higher. If I had to live in a city with an AQI of 1700 I would probably die with my first breath. This entire video is so sad and so hard to watch. I'm sorry to say that I never knew most of these places existed, let alone how bad it is for the people there. The issue isn't that the people are impoverished. It's that 1% of the world's population has more money than all the rest of the world combined, and most of them only work to get even more for themselves. This has to change.

[@jenniedesoto1323]

Selfishness is the root of all evil. We should not have billionaires in the world. I don't want to be a billionaire with poverty and hunger still here. The combined wealth of the world's billionaires can end poverty in the world several times over. All developing countries should become developed ones. Money should not be spent on war. I wish I could instantly end all poverty and hunger in the world. For those of us lucky, let's not complain. We all should have a right to a good life. I wish for a bright future.

I don't wish to appear unfeeling, but it seems insane for people to keep having children. When the bombs are dropping and the food is gone, what possess people to bring another little life into a world of hell? And another thing. Who provides the arms, the bullets, the bombs?

[@bongwelll]

It happens in America also. Very stupid. I didn't have children on purpose. Even animals know better than to breed when times are bad. With 9 billion on the planet and the world we are leaving behind for future generations you have to be stupid, selfish, or both to have a ton of kids.

[@twannifufu]

It’s not that simple. You have to put into perspective the history of the areas. Many of the countries on this list were impacted by European colonialism and U.S. imperialism don not have the infrastructure to overcome said obstacles. They’ve received little to no aid from international communities nor the countries that invaded them. Additionally, it might not be the case that folks are having children by choice. The laws in many of these countries prevent access to important medical care, abortions, and do not protect women and girls from sexual violence. People might have been coerced to have children due to familial and societal pressures. When you don’t have access to work or education, you don’t have many options for advancement or entertainment, leading to the primary form of recreation being sexual activity. To answer your second question about the providing of arms and weapons, it’s most likely the United States, directly or indirectly. It’s easy to deride folks from the comfort of our homes in the U.S. - and there are plenty of problems on the scale of the cities highlighted here too - without taking into consideration the context of world history over the last five hundred years. European exploration and U.S. globalization has done almost irreparable damage to much of the world.

Very difficult to watch, all of the sadness. Someone commented about other governments stepping in to help, unfortunately other governments stepping in is THE REAL PROBLEM! Someone else commented that with so many billionaires in the world, why is there still so much suffering? WEALTH or being wealthy isn’t a humanitarian crime, but GREED is. And being GREEDY with all of that wealth should be. How about a little more generosity and sharing that wealth where it’s needed? Unfortunately there are profits to be realized where there is great suffering, just learn the truth in the REAL HISTORY of the world - the stuff that’s not being taught in schools - you must research and study on your own, but wow, does it become clear.

But imagine if you could still have riches but if the Earth took humanity under their wing as a whole, this could be a beautiful world but sadly we as humans seem to be incapable of this, I GAURENTEE that there are planets that all are taken care of and probably a big reason we haven't seen Aliens. The type of world's like that likely are so advanced because instead of wasting resources on violence, greed and war we could be doing the opposite. That's the only way our civilization as a entirety will ever become advanced beyond our comprehension. That and our constant falling away from God. I believe God isn't just the Father of the Earth but many worlds, parallel Earths even maybe. But no it's not but don't mean it isn't something to think about.

@kirstybrown1185 Ahhhh.... now I understand you. You're a child. 🤦 I apologize for coming down on you so hard earlier. I did not realize you were a kid. As for statistics on NK, there likely are none published because NK is what is called *"AN ISOLATIONIST"* country. That means they don't share any info with anyone else. They are a strictly communist country and any misbehavior by the citizens is dealt with very severely. NK does not permit most people into, or out of, their country, so your question is probably moot.
