Elon Musk, the richest person in the world, says he will sell $6 billion worth of Tesla stock and donate the proceeds to the United Nations’ food agency if it could show how the money would solve world hunger.

His statement came after U.N. World Food Programme Executive Director David Beasley challenged Musk, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and other billionaires in a CNN interview last week, calling on them to step up on “a one-time basis” to help end starvation.

No. The elites need Africa to remain poor and dependent on them, so they can skim U.S. tax-dollars and then the rest of the money or aid goes to the African dictators.

Look at how these climate change groups are prohibiting Africa from using their natural resources. Notice the vaccine and abortion campaigns always start in Africa.

Why should someone risk their fortunes on commercial farming in Africa when people can get their food for free from the UN? However if we are going to give food aid why not take all the corn used for ethanol and turn it into corn flour? I know it may require a different type of seed but it should still be possible.

No we’re in agreement.

They’ve known for decades now that starvation is caused by local warlords and dictators, who intentionally starve hated minorities, by keeping food away from them. If any food gets through, it is typically only after large bribes to the warlord or dictator.

Hint, it won’t.. the poor will always be with us.

The way to solve world hunger is to get rid of corrupt, communist governments who steal all the money and food for themselves.

And to teach the peasants how to farm. Give them lessons, a hand up to start, and let them go on from there. They have to learn to do it themselves sometime and by keeping on doling out handouts, they stay dependent forever and never have the motivation to climb out of poverty.

Male Customer: Do you support the decision to send troops to Somalia?

Bill Clinton: [ chews his McMuffin ] Mmm.. that’s a good question.Yes, I do.. and let me tell you why. See, right now, we’re sending in..[ holds us McMuffin ] ..food.. [ puts McMuffin in front of Male Customer ]..to Somalia.. but it’s not getting to the people who need it because..[ brings McMuffin back to himself ] ..it’s being intercepted by the warlords.. [ chews McMuffin some more ] And it’s not just us. It’s other countries, too.. [ grabs a McNugget from another customer ] Your McNugget is aid from Great Britain.. [ takes it to other customer, then gibbles it down ] ..intercepted by warlords! [ grabs someone’s Filet-o-Fish ] Thisman’s Filet-o-Fish over here is relief from Italy.. [ pops it in his mouth ]..warlords! And you can send all the food you want.. [ grabs differentitems ] ..a McDLT, hot apple pie.. it’s just gonna end up with.. [ puts it all in his mouth ] ..the warlords! Now, with a broad-based international military force, we can make sure that the McRib sandwich.. [ grabs one andplaces it on someone’s tray ] ..gets to the people who need it. [ picks it up and gobbles it anyway ] Can I get a Coke?

"My takeaway from that chart: it looks like famine wasn’t a big problem until the commies began to take over countries starting in 1917."

Umm .. good take - point made. I was just looking out at the tiny "3" not even showing on the chart out in the 2000's.

PS: 5 minute search excluding UN posts. ;-)

[Osage Orange]

Born there...but white.

[EEGator]

American, French, etc.?

Are they missionaries?

I’m just asking out of personal interest.

[NetAddicted]

Rd later.

Build a man a fire, he's warm for a day.

Set a man on fire, and he's warm for the rest of his life.

I'm not sure what you want...My BIL's wife was born in Rhodesia...

Her family were farmers....there in Rhodesia. Before they changed the name of the country....

That part of Africa...was a "bread basket"...

My BIL's wife told some stories...now.

I do not know how her parents got there....

Pretty sure they were not missionaries....but I could be wrong.

Pat was killed in a car wreck in OK....many years ago now.

[EEGator]

Gotcha, thanks.

Have you ever gone, or plan on going?

[Osage Orange]

Nope never been...

I've been out of the USA before....but not to Africa.

No plans..@ this time,

Even the richest man in the world knows that most charitable contributions wind up in the pockets of bureaucrats & very little reaches the poor.

[oldasrocks]

What country did we send food to that the bad guys sold the food to buy more weapons?

[mcshot]

As is my admiration for him.
