"I will use this $5 to feed my starving family for the next week, what troubles you my Western Child?"

"Damn Doc, couldn't be me, I spend that on a bag of chips. Doc, I feel better already for not taking such an L, you have a good one ๐Ÿ’ฏ"

A valid problem.

If it is that dire then the reality is that if you don't call, the children will die. But it's not awkward because you will never know if you don't use the service.

The third world only earns more if we buy services back.

If you feel bad that the family starves you can still pay more. But people understand PPP. Your life will be worse than theirs. You paid for chips while they had a real meal.
