    That is why capitalism work - the system is set up in such a way as to get money you have to do something useful that others will pay you for.stoicHoneyBadger

    So, what percent of people would attempt to help a stranger before helping themselves?stoicHoneyBadger

    Does the number of people matter? How about the firefighters who enter burning buildings and the divers who rescued the boys from a cave in Thailand? There are many people who put their lives on the line for others. The instinct to do that is what makes war possible.
