to pay for one person for three years in Sub-Saharan Africa, where I expect the average annual income is about the same amount, then we should attack the drug companies with guns and clubs, it can't cost that much to manufacture and profits from such trade are sinful and ought to be criminal.
But that's not my point. Already I've seen a $10 contribution to a local candidate, which you'll match, so the candidate gets $20, what difference will that particular contribution make? It won't get that candidate elected, although you'll certainly score some karma, but someone's going to go without medication (with a much more definitive result) in order to accommodate that karma boost, how can that be justified?
