>>1055382>Congratulations, this is officially the dumbest post I've read today.Lifestraw is a result of an insane idea. Keeping people alive one day more but not giving them any means to survive on their own.
Building clean water wells and giving them gardening tools is great, but a Lifestraw will not last forever. What happens when a poor African child has been drinking through Lifestraw a couple of months/years and it gets clogged up?
Foreign aid has caused population to explode and things like Lifestraw are keeping this population alive and growing exponentially. Yet people are dying and suffering just like before, just more people. Keeping one person alive only causes some other person to die. Too many people, get it?
One day the foreign aid will stop. It will stop because of politics, war, depression, pandemia whatever. All these 'extra' people are going to die in civil wars and unrest never seen before in human history. The population will return to the level it was before foreign aid in the 1950's. All these other people will die. How is this 'humane'?
Foreign aid is one of the greatest crimes committed by the man. It causes overpopulation and ovepopulated countries can't develope. Foreign aid was invented to ensure Africa stays poor and undeveloped, and of course to benefit those involved in the business.
>Sorry about the rant, back to the topic.I have a lifestraw but it's for emergencies only. It was cheap and it can useful in a pinch. I don't really care about politics.
