Don’t you think that’s selfish? I don’t live in most countries of the world (obviously) but I can still empathise with fellow human beings struggling elsewhere in this globalised planet. I don’t believe other problems are unimportant because they don’t directly apply to me.

Considering all the environmental protections being rolled back, you and your family will be affected sooner than you think.
