For what it's worth, I actually sympathize a lot with your frustration and have felt the same, but was honestly questioning if you were arguing from some sort of real claim that it's unfair for you to not have a solution now, or just from general emotional frustration. For the first one, my arguments above, for the second one, fair enough, it happens to anyone suffering enough from something, and though I've tried to calm and redirect it when I feel that way, it's hard to pull off. You also didn't explain, and i'm honestly curious: is this something that has no remedy for someone who's an adult, or something that has a treatment, but it's too expensive for you? >But I guarantee you if you added up the sum of rare but probably treatable/curable diseases that we havent spent time on because of the rarity, the sum of those people is probably a significant chunk of the population. Well yes, but there are also many much more widely devastating problems that we can also treat, but which haven't been fixed yet, and the reasons for that are way too complex to blame any one thing, or capitalism. Governments and all their immense resources are around too, yet they also don't quite seem to get around to fixing so many things that have solutions. Again, comparing the real world with your desires is never going to work. The world needs to be compared with its previous states for a fair sense of perspective.
