*The child threatens to tell on another in order to control the other child.

And if that is not enough drink for thought...
Consider while you are sipping your gin and tonic, or water, or Coke;

Over 3/4 of a Billion people in the world do not have access to safe clean drinking water.
Huh? Where did this come from? Is this a thinly veiled attempt to ridicule me for suggesting that service I ostensibly paid for but isn't being delivered is a poor sense of priorities given how many all over the world live on almost nothing?

Well, you're right. It's a first world problem. But it doesn't negate the question of value/service, but nor did anything I said imply it's a major issue.

But since YOU brought it up... Incidentally, I work professionally in public policy, have actually campaigned for candidates of multiple political parties rather than just mouth off about it on social media, have served in humanitarian and military service for 12 years, worked for several nonprofits for years, and have raised a collective total of nearly $30 million to fight poverty and improve education.

What have YOU done?
