The Wrong Children Are Crying

Young child sitting amid piles of waste, with dirt on face and clothing, illustrating extreme poverty and inequality.

They are stolen from children whose only ambition is to eat tomorrow, to live through the week, to see their parents come home alive. Every policy that slows development and makes energy scarce steals from them directly. Reality keeps the receipts.
