          Unnoticed implies that it is a problem of informing the public.

          The public (the publ8c who cares about issues and reads news) already knows. Our politicians just talk it away and do nothing to address it.

            The indigenous peoples losing their lands to farmers and ranchers might say otherwise.

            The root of evil remains the economic system. If there’s profit to be made from suffering it will be made. Capitalism has no hell where evildoers go. The fear of it does get people to straighten up somewhat during their life.

                Qatar is a very rich country with ample of money. It could have properly facilitated with a bit of human treatment for the foreign labourers coming from not so rich countries in order to earn and provide for their family.

                The universal truth about rich people everywhere, is that they never feel like they have enough money.
