50k for a watch, 500K for a new car; when all the while that money can go so much further to help so many more people. Fact is the people with money very rarely tend to see the people without it. I think its that disconnect from other people that really prevents world from getting to a point where on the whole everyone has what they need to survive, and the resources of the Earth are spread equally and fairly.
