K so Qatar makes like 5 bil a year and gives 25 mil
- they give 0.005 of their money to that place

America makes 150 trillion a year and gives 350 million
- They give 0.00002% of their money to that place


See what I mean?

yeah but compare that to Australia which has given more than any other nation on earth to this fund or Germany or the EU. Teri you have a point but surely the wealthiest countries on earth have a moral obligation to help these countries. i think its a tragedy your mother cannot afford to retire and that is an indicement on the u.s. however not being able to afford to retire and not having anything to eat, or clean water or a roof over one's head is a completely different story.

X Saudi Arabia is a very big economy and the world's largest supplier of oil so I think they can afford to give more. This is probably the biggest natural disaster we will see in our lifetimes. The death toll is up around 200,000 which makes other recent events tiny in comparison.
