A malnurished child in a cash strapped family

[NoOneMan]

15. No one is taking care of tomorrow

We are kicking the can down the road. The only solutions being thought of are false; we are not looking for optimal survival, but rather, maintenance of our current standard of living and economic expansion. Ideas borne within civilization will not be opposed to the wrongheadedness of civilization, less they risk being disregarded by civilization. We don't want to merely survive if we cannot do it without our iPhones and McMansions, as the technophile Star Trek future of cornucopia is the only possible one people are attempting to build bridges to.

With that said, in terms of today's problems, Im not sure what a call to rebuild infrastructure has much to do with it. How does a starving child get helped by a new bridge? Dry towels & blankets and warm meals would probably be more appropriate.
