Once upon a time a rich white guy stopped the world because children were starving in Africa. These days we shrug. But there was a moment in the 80’s when the whole world cared. I was a child in that moment and the lack of outcry or stand for the people of gaza is how i know that the world has gone to shit.

iirc, Live Aid had mixed impact. The problem with starvation in Ethiopia was partly drought, but also partly their corrupt government, which cannot be solved by pouring money onto the problem
