That Mumbai slum tour is fascinating. I always like to see the gritty stuff. ie my wife and I spent a week in LA, first stop walk around Skid Row. Every city ask locals "where do you NOT recommend" "where are the famous crime/riot scenes". I haven't left western hemisphere, but north St. Louis still the most desolate slum I've been in.

Who pays for the food to feed all those people?

And why is this economic system self-sustaining? And does this show that "and give to those who can't" works? Marx was right all along?

I should think there's a lot more to say about a society based on parasites and providers whether run by government with their ability to threaten punishment or complete voluntarism. Why isn't this society disintegrating?

Never understood the appeal of watching these videos. I'm fine to read a short blurb about a place, but I don't want to spoil it by watching someone else have the experience I'm about to have.
