The problem, as I see it, isn't that people want to rebuild Notre Dame nor fund that. The problem is that we live in a society that places more value on inanimate objects than on objectively combating human suffering and misery. It's why we don't make any measurable progress on combating global warming, it's why the international order is disintegrating into a terrible hydra.
It just bothers me that we CHOOSE to not do anything about the other problems, not that we CANT.

Without looking into it to deeply WORLD HUNGER is one of those eye rolling things...I bet any country with large swathes of starving population can not be helped by pumping the government in charge with cash and hoping for the best.

Secondly though, I had a similar thought at the first huge donor that got reported. Like, seriously? You have $130 million just laying around not helping anyone, but you're motivated to roll it out for an old building? All the humanitarian crises and natural disasters of the last decade, and this is the final straw that finally gets your checkbook out?

That's mindblowing to me.
I'm all for repairing Notre Dame cathedral- it's a historic site and we should preserve it. But does anyone else feel like I could just build a whole new one for $1 billion dollars? I mean... a BILLION? That's a lot of money.
And... I'm just saying... aren't there better (and more humanitarian) things we could spend $1 billion on rather than donating it to the government of France for a historic cathedral?
