You're kinda missing the point here. People living in desperate circumstances with little or no chance of drastically improving their lives are not really comparable to someone like me who's in the top 10% with regard to global wealth and income distribution, has access to great health care, lots of job opportunities and lots of freedom to choose what I do and when I do it not to mention having 2 young children who depend on me, will have access to an excellent education and general life opportunities assuming things stay somewhat the same and are both girls so my death would substantially increase the chances of them working the pole.
