"like" needs an object for the comparison. Something can't just "look like", it has to look like something. "What" is an indirect reference to an object so you can say what it looks like.

"How" is a reference to an adjective or a description, so it doesn't need another word to make it a comparison. How does the cave look? It looks terrifying.

Solved by money, there's nearly no sickness in the world that you can't get treated effectively if you pay enough for the privelege.

Wrong

The rich don't love anyone

Wrong

We're making great strides on this in the medical sector, also solved by money. We don't have this one truly "solved" yet but I expect a workable solution within 100 years.

Pure fantasy

Not if you upload yourself to Xitter and get turned into a chatbot!

Fair enough

Ok, and also the most extreme islamophobes (India, Sweden, Czechie, Hungary, ...). But the division on this map is notably different from the usual one.

Getting ultra rich won't save you from suffering. It can put it off a little while, but sickness, loss of loved ones, old age, and death come for us all.

Nah it's you that is not thinking. It is specifically the USA which is the problem. You can see that this map is, unusually, not "always the same map", with many right wing neoliberal countries (France, Japan, New Zealand, ...) voting for this. It's not at all about the internal political alignment of the countries and just about who is a US proxy.

Ukraine may have a terrible, far right regime, but this vote doesn't really say much about it, given that their survival currently depends on not pissing off the USA in any way. If their major military support was coming from a country that wanted it the other way around it would've been that way, there's no principle behind it.

Such an incredibly small number of people want to murder that, even though it would only take <1% of people to get rid of the whole population, we are nowhere near that.

It's only because people don't really like being murdered that...

No it's also, and more importantly, because people don't like murdering
