This study was released in June, so this may be a repost, but I just found out that one of my friends is a fan of Emily Oster and this is the void I must scream into.

Remember all those pictures from China where people were rocking out at water parks and concerts because they had a real, functioning country?
I remember seeing the pictures of food and care supplies delivered directly to their homes. It's really fucking sad to think about: looking at the people in other countries and wishing you lived in a place that would tap into resources when a disaster happened.
The propaganda machine is so strong here in the US. You actually believe in social contracts to be upheld by a country that to this day has never offered reparations for slavery.
Of course a country that fought so hard to exploit people would never turn around and then give back.
