Exactly @lesliestarrohara

It's maybe "humanitarian" in the moment, and then a ripple effect of devastation to the people you were trying to help (people who don't need additional challenges).

I can't add anything to what you've said, but just want to say that frankly I'm tired of people being categorized as not "humanitarian" (or implied to be that) because they happen to understand that this is the effect.

(Of course it's a projection, and we're actually the humanitarians, whether or not we go around calling ourselves that.)

@caleber24p, you can't separate the economics from what's humanitarian.

It's like saying "ignoring human physiology, let's give a huge dose of methamphetamine". The physiology is why it's bad to do that.

The economics is the point. It explains what the effects are on people, and the humanitarian thing is to consider it.
