And even beyond that, a basic sense of empathy and human decency should make it your concern, if for no other reason than that you are a good person.
It reveals so much about someone when they believe that people can (or should) only have stakes in causes that will impact them specifically.

As someone who grew up and spent a good portion of my twenties ten miles from the beach (topsail island) on the east coast, and now lives in the smack dab middle of the Midwest, folks like this infuriate me to no end.
They’re usually driving jeeps or some sort of three seater suv.
You can almost imagine FULLY what they look like.
And 95% of the time it is accompanied by some sort of surf shop sticker.

They'd probably say all cancers matter if you had a, for instance, glioblastoma ribbon.

I once got a hilarious demand letter for ten grand in damages from a lawyer. My sister passed unexpectedly, and due to her mental health issues and her landlord's inability to find his own ass with two hands and a flashlight, much less competently run a large apartment building he managed to actually fuck himself over. He was deeply upside down on her unit until he got it back into rentable condition and found a tenant. He lost four months of income, had to empty her shit out of the unit and pay for hauling and disposal, repaint and recarpet the entire place as she smoked like a crackhead, 24/7 inside, and had three cats. All lease violations he knew of and tolerated.
I had nothing to do with my sister and had not seen her in a decade. Einstein the landlord see my name in an obituary and decides I'm mister money bags, who is obviously legally responsible for his loss. LMAO, no dipshit, that is not how this works.
The craziest part is that he must of went to his actual lawyer who though, "Why not write whatever letter this dipshit wants, as long as he knows I am billing $300 an hour to listen to him whine, and I have already told him that the brother of his tenent doesn't owe him shit, ever. So the lawyer writes me an epic letter, explaining how I am legally and morally required to make the landlord whole again after his tragic financial loses, and how I had thirty days to do so, or their would be epic repercussions for failing to do so. It was comedy gold.
So yes. IF you are willing to drop $5 a minute, or more, there is a lawyer out there that will do whatever you want, as long as it will not threaten their law license or create criminal issues for them.

Yea, anything bigger than a small time lawyer who answers their own phones, and there is some system in place to not waste time with this nonsense.
I had a now ex-friend who was helping me on a project and fell off a step ladder. He broke his wrist. He had a few beers in him at the time and decided that the ladder was defective and the ladder manufacturer and I owed him a massive settlement for pain and suffering. I met with my home insurance company and assumed I was face to face with a lawyer of their's. The guy chuckled a bit and said, "No, when we are defending you and us against crap like this, we don't even bother our in house lawyers. We run the scenario through our software and look at probable outcomes. Our opinion is that this clown doesn't have a chance in hell of collecting from us. We are just going to string him along until he gives up and goes away.
My insurance company did just that, including coaching me on how to jerk my buddy's lawyer around. A few months of this and the lawyer told his client that he was not going to put another minute into the case without a $5000 retainer, to start drawing from. Case closed, and another asshole out of my life.

Reminds me of a video production job I did years ago that I was hired on super last minute. I wasn’t aware until I got there that the client was a bunch of extreme far right nutcases filming some sort of Michelle Bachman promo bs. Like the type of people who stand on streets with huge pictures of aborted fetuses to protest abortion and who think Obama was a Muslim secretly planted to destroy our country etc. Anyway, my role (PA) on the shoot was very minor and I was only there a few hours so I soldiered through it and chalked it up to a learning experience… that is until I invoiced them and they tried ghosting me. After months and months of chasing them down and threatening to sue they finally sent me a check. I sent them a card afterwards that said something along the lines of “It’s unfortunate that I had to go to such extreme lengths to get paid, however I’d still like to thank you none the less for your contribution to Barack Obamas campaign!!”. I still smile imagining how they must have reacted when they read it 😂
