The Afghan government could do a better job.
They will not.
The afghan government goals are not the world's goals.

In an effort to spot problems, social workers are looking at
histories and providing support for families in which children are
considered at high risk for abuse and neglect.

Amazon’s “all you can eat” reading service, Kindle Unlimited, is

Fan fiction has not been worth reading.

Volcanic eruptions are among the earth’s most cataclysmic events,
but scientists are often reduced to analyzing possibilities within
possibilities when making forecasts.
