Here's my non-shitty point. It must hurt them to not do something. They must suffer, and I choose that word specifically, consequences for NOT doing it. And not the moral consequence of causing harm to other people, but real, hard consequences. Like impeachment, or jail time, or a public flogging. I find that unlikely to happen because again, nobody making these decisions cares about poor people. As another example, the deaths of all of the workers constructing the Fifa stadiums in Qatar.but world leaders might.
