Yes, you are jaded. And yes it might make some sense if you were trying to fix the economy. But I'd hedge that these charities will do more to alleviate poverty than Google paying some people more and hoping that something good happens.
Take a dollar from the middle, and give ten cents to the bottom. This way the top gets to keep 90¢ and look like the hero!
To be fair, it's what has always done. But this makes ck2 "jaded"? I am disappointed that so many people agree with you. Maybe the bottom wouldn't be so poor if there were some well off people who lived next to them and could help them out when they really needed it. Moving 90¢ from Bangalore to Tokyo / New York / Los Angeles reduces the local wealth a lot more than sending 10¢ back.
