    Because they should care about the future of the human race more than their current bank balance.

    We’re doomed as a species.

      Then again - go out, sell your house and do it. It’s great to be outraged when “nobody is doing it”. Yet everything requires money to do. I have a company producing humanitarian supplies. Do you think I would be able to do it / should I do it for free?

        You’re preaching from the selfish soapbox of only caring about your own bank account, not humanity’s best interests.

        Expending my assets to make a difference wouldn’t make a dent and I’d be completely left with nothing. Someone with massive wealth can expend 95% of their resources and still live a more comfortable existence than 99% of us.

        Why are we protecting the dragons sitting on the piles of gold instead of taking the gold and investing in our species’ future prosperity?

        We’re doomed.
