We are still bound to our primal instincts. If you cut the throat of a baby in the middle of Times Square, the outrage will be insane. Yet, lack of financing to hospitals can do that many times over but people are numb to it.
Take the Jaguar hack, the economic loss is estimated at 2.5bn. Given an average house price in the UK of $300k, that’s like destroying ~8.000 homes.
Do you think the public and international response will be the same if Russia or China leveled a small neighborhood even with no human casualties?
