Neglected Priorities: Domestic vs. Overseas Aid

This chapter critically examines the distribution of U.S. financial aid, highlighting the stark contrast between funds sent overseas and unresolved domestic crises such as Flint's water issues and the aftermath of natural disasters in Hawaii. Through a mix of humor and serious debate, the discussion reflects on the consequences of government negligence, particularly in the context of environmental and public health challenges. Personal anecdotes and societal critiques reveal the deep-seated issues of environmental degradation, labor exploitation, and the legacy of coal mining in vulnerable communities.
