A sick irony
The biggest song on the top-40 charts right now is a hip-hop song called Cyclone ... and just as this song becomes the biggest song in the world, 5000 die in a cyclone in Bangladesh.

Modern capitalism is based on making other people pay the cost for your development. This is just a non-monetary example. Places that are subject to extreme weather haven't developed to a great extent, but they're definitely going to keep paying the cost for our development.
