Thats life: the cities may be bright and the stuff we have now may be awesome as far as technological and civilization advancement go, However when you look behind the curtain you see that the world is a horrible messy place driven by greed, the lust for power and the need to obtain more resources or power by theft or by force; And thats how the world has been run for roughly 4,000 years AND IS STILL RUN. Craziest thing ever though 60% of the 7.4 BILLION people on planet earth live in poverty. 40% of the entire population live with out access to clean drinking water. All you have to do to get drinking water is take ocean water filter out the solid particulate, remove any chemical pollutant and distill it to remove the salt and re fortify it with minerals. THATS LITERALLY ALL YOU HAVE TO DO. (Oh an 70% of the planet is covered with ocean water) So poverty yea thats a tougher problem to fix. Clean drinking water ALL you need is a few filters, boil it to steam and collect that steam, then put needed minerals back into the purified sterile water to make it drinkable. LITERALLY every government of every nation in the entire world posses the technologies required to give every single citizen of their country access to unlimited clean drinking water. NOT A SINGLE COUNTRY IN THE WORLD HAS DONE THIS, we have had the tech needed to do it since the EARLY 1900s. So yea planet earth is beyond messed up right now.
