<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Somewhere, somehow, success and prosperity are viewed by some as a sin or a crime. If the wealthy can spend their money: let them. Somebody who is not wealthy reaps the benefits. <br />It wasn&#39;t the Pharos who built the pyramids; it was thousands of craftsmen who were paid for their labor. If India&#39;s super rich are recognizing the Indian&#39;s government inability to manage and handle the Pandemic, why should they stick around like the other 1.3 billion people? Let them run. After all, the UK will benefit.
