    40 billion each year to end global hunger by 2030. Everyone is everyone in the whole world. These figures are from the Un food programme’s. Population would not explode, because malthusian economics are for eco fascists. Rich people that have no food insecurity have Less kids, not more. See all of Europe and the US and many other countries as examples. Human population is not the graph about wolves and deer you saw in 10th grade biology.

      We literally tried this in the 90s, when we had tons of money and were in a good mood.

      Warlords sprung up, pirated the shipments and controlled them for power throughout Africa, including somalia/Mogadishu.

      I’m not saying we shouldn’t do it anyway, but it’s not as easy as it sounds.

      Mostly, Saudi Arabia would do everything it could to disrupt this because they don’t want poor people getting any food if it doesn’t include indoctrination in their wahhabist Islam schools because as holders of mecca and Medina they believe they can use militant Islam to expand their influence throughout both the middle east and Africa (though isis backfired and made them think twice for a few years, they’re back at it now).
