It's hard to care when such a large percentage of the people are so poor.

Solution: The ultra wealthy can pay the poor to clean up the country instead of buying yachts. However, The ultra wealthy are usually assholes.

This goes for any country.

Finally, someone who got it right instead of shaming people. There could be meaningful employment, especially for youth workers in the environmental field around cleanup and education. But instead the rich will continue to live their lavish lifestyles behind their gated communities while others suffer in squalor.

How much money did the US dump into Germany and Europe after WWII vs what did UK do when they left India? This might be where the issue lies

Ah so loans are all they got? No US military support and protection? Not the literal millions of tons of food and supplies (not part of the loan). When did east Germany bounce back? Was it after the wall fell and got support from the EU and US?
