But I quoted the second sentence for a reason - and that reason is because it could have strong negative impacts (outcompeting local businesses, leading to economic instability at least and prolonged poverty at worst), but that's not considered at all. So we have charity in the first sentence, eyed with skepticism and doubt, and then we have business in the second sentence, jumped into uncritically.
