“He [Trump] thinks about investments and money before thinking about a person’s right to a decent life, before he thinks about the tortured, orphaned, and wounded children of Gaza.”
Classic American way of thinking. They even do this to themselves, making a social system that puts money above happiness for everyone involved, for when people are unhappy, they consume things, services and medicines they don’t need compulsively. We see this in rats in the famous rat park experiment. Happy rats are moderate consumers. Miserable rats are desperate consumers of anything.
Even billionaires live unhappy miserable lives, doing drugs and constantly competing over the new thing even at the cost of their own peace of mind over clout and mindless pursuit of a bigger number that largely lacks any meaning to them anymore. They hop on the grindset and they become the grindset, unable to be anything else anymore. The free market needs guard rails or it consumes the consumer base on which it depends to live. Gaza being sold for profit represents the loss of guard rails at a state level.
The guy is a jackass and a narcissist of the highest order, but apparently, the couple didn’t do the donation through the proper available legal channels, which legally doesn’t clarify him as a donor. The article says
The world knows. It’s why most people don’t have unregulated donor children, because this can happen. It’s why you pay the legal fees for private donors or the premium price of fertility clinic spunk. I don’t wanna victim blame here or anything, but getting a random to donate sperm off the internet carries this exact risk and it was a very obvious oversight. What they saved in upfront money came back to haunt them and even broke down their relationship. It’s a very sad story all around.
