    Hunger is a political problem, not a money problem. You can’t just say “here are X billion dollars, let’s end world hunger”. Having said that, the system that allows people like Musk to get that rich, is also the same system that creates hunger.

      Here in the good ole USA money and politics are the same thing. If you have the political will, you can get the money and if you have the money, you can but the political will.

      That said, didn’t Elmo have a beef with the fucking United Nations because he said he’d pay the 6 or 7 billion to end world hunger if the could prove that it’s possible and then they produced a detailed plan and he quibbled and but-akshually’ed his way to a reneg because he never intended to do jack shit for anyone other than himself?
