Nah, it's not just about money and connections in this case.

It's also about popular figures promoting the "We have to help!" line, politicians enjoying the photo ops that come out of it, and the general public agreeing, or at least shrugging and accepting it.

We, as a country, believe we should support those people living on beaches for some reason. So that's the government we get.

We could be hands off, but we'd rather watch that money being spent, at our expense.
