Fear not, all the highly profitable privatized humanitarian aid corporations are lining up as we speak...

Like anybody was suggesting anything such. Try to read my comment again.

tou-chy. jeez, your ego is that fragile? I mean you downvoted AND replied with some snippy-ass attitude. It's so absurd I actually can't stop laughing right now, thanks.

I did not downvote you, buddy - I never do, anything. The thing is people like you always come to a comment that is saying something that might be very remotely counter-state (and in this case was not at all), and take it to the extreme. It's not about ego, I just don't think it's any addition to the discussion at all - it's completely off topic.

Now I am laughing out very loudly, thank you. :-)

You're welcome! My original post was tounge in cheek and supposed to evoke a chuckle.

The parent's point – though ideologically charged – is that care should be taken to ensure taxes are used for maximum public benefit, rather than being wasted on things that don't benefit the public.

The current crisis is a demonstration of why this is important.

Thank you. I tried to get ideology out of it.
