Its nice that your family are financially secure but my point is you love them because you have genes in common with them. And if you lived near them you could help care for them as they age. I guess you think you can just throw money at that problem too but it isn’t the same as doing it yourself and your parents will suffer for it. Old people should not be living and dying alone. That is our broken culture. >Belize is bolstering their economy by inviting those with remote jobs to come there and work. Maybe they should train their own people instead of making them the servants to foreigners in their own country. It kills me that you believe your materialism isn’t deeply harmful. The annihilation of culture is the annihilation of a set of ground rules that allow societies to function as more than a set of individuals only in it for themselves in a zero sum game. That produces an ammoral free for all with low trust for everyone. Especially when powerful people are literally controlling the price of money. You *are* colonizing belize, it’s clear you have no love of belize culture and you keep justifying it with “yeah but all my money” . You are effectively destroying what Belize is. Are you comfortable with that? “I care for all people” is not a culture. A culture is a set of groundrules that a people decide to live by. You think the only rules that matter are the ones set by globalists or 3rd world cleptocrats. People need culture. It is the antidote to tyranny. Colonization is not nice to do. If only money matters this world will become a hellscape as it quickly is.
