   Well not really true no.
   
   We try to fight homelessness, hunger and poverty all the time. You pretty much have to be rere your whole life if you haven't seen dozens upon dozens of programs to fight those things...and many people HAVE been saved from those things too because of said programs.

   To me it's more just pointiant. throwing a nickel at a homeless dude isn't fighting homelessness the same as not littering one time is fighting climate change.
   
   I want to care and I do but I have also stopped caring a little bit in a way lol

   If everyone threw a nickel at said homeless man he's have nearly 8 billion nickels.

   the world doesnt have enough metal to make 8 billion nickels.

   Many a Christmas I've spend volunteering with the homeless, handing out blankets, soup or working at various homeless shelters/churches serving up Christmas dinners to the UNGRATEFUL BASTARDS...

    WRONG
    
    Composition. Most of the asteroids in the Main Belt are made of rock and stone, but a small portion of them contain iron and nickel metals

    "The belt is estimated to contain between 1.1 and 1.9 million asteroids larger than 1 kilometer (0.6 miles) in diameter, and millions of smaller ones."
    
    A "small" amount of MILLIONS is still enough to make 8 billion nickels...

    I just asked Jeeves who said there is 300 million tons of nickel in the world here. I am not good at math but I think we could make 8 billion nickels out of that

    A nickel weights 5 grams....8 billion therefore would be 40 billion grams...40 billion grams = just over 88 million lbs...88 million pounds = 44,000 US tons.
    
    A typical 1km asteroid weighs about 1.4 BILLION tons.
    
    1.4 billion - 44,000...well Vinny, if you graduated Junior high I'm sure you can do the math there and see that just *1* 1km sized asteroid is enough to not only make 8 billion nickels but have enough left over to make a new chassis for your rickshaw too.
    
    YOU'RE DISMISSED.
