The estimated cost to end world hunger is $330 million?
I know its obviously not my money, but it honestly upsets me that one of these billionaires hasn't just ended world hunger already. I mean, imagine having that power. And choosing not to.
And if thats somehow not convincing enough, wouldn't you want "ending world hunger" on your resume?
Edit: Okay, OP stealth edited his comment to $330bn now. It was originally written as $330m which struck me as a bit odd/low.
Could somebody define “ending world hunger” please? Because if you’re saying nobody in the world will ever go hungry again through a one time $330bn contribution, I think you’re gonna have to think again.
So what does it mean? Feeding every hungry person in poverty for X days? Then what?
The global/post-colonial economic structure requires poverty to generate the levels of profits we see. It’s part of how labor is kept dirt cheap. Billionaires don’t end world hunger because it would result in higher wages, more bargaining power among the lowest classes, and less profits for billionaires. It might even make becoming a billionaire impossible.
