Quick give us more if your money
Best cure for poverty: capitalism.
Ah, but they hate us, anyway.
“”the goal of U.S. foreign aid is to accomplish an environment where aid is no longer needed. “”
Yada Yada Yada - how many years have we heard this? Never happen!
Go talk to the UN - let them provide the assistance....
Taking money from those who produce and giving it to those who don’t even bother to thank the suckers who work for them.
Food security = garden + pantry + chicken coop :)
They might want to consider how fossil fuels (yes those eeeevil fuels) increase food security.
I’m tired so I just skinned the article so I don’t know if it mentions how corrupt governments are a big barrier to food security.
The solution is simple—reduce the number of mouths. But, the democrats do want more potential voters, no matter from what sh!thole country they sneak in to America.
I remember ‘The Heifer Project’. Farmers were encourage to DONATE a healthy, bred, heifer to be sent to Africa. It was meant to help start larger herds, and to give kids fresh milk.
The recipients in Africa ATE the heifers.
No more ‘sympathy’.
They eat grubs and bugs, and whatever scrubby wheat-like weed they can “farm” on arid land devoid of topsoil. When we donate food, it goes into the warehouse controlled by the local strongman. And he doles it out here and there to control his “subjects”.
It is better to let these people alone and let nature take its course.
If the poor would stop breeding like rabbits, poverty would vanish in one generation. Look at all the filth in that picture. What do you bet there is a village full of unemployed adults sitting around doing nothing about it. Poverty is due to the actions of the people living in it.
Give a man a fish ...
Birth control would be cheaper. Not that they'd take their pills or wear condoms or abstain as directed.
A bar of soap is cheaper than deworming. But, again, they won't use the soap and won't stop pooping in the drinking water. Heck, they can't dig a well on their own initiative. We've been teaching them to dig a well and fish for decades and decades and it still hasn't sunk in. Or it's that they know whitey will do everything them so they don't need to bother.
When/if the shtf here and we end up like Venezuela and other turd world countries, learn how to grow a garden. Seeds are cheap. Walmart has seed packets for 10-25 cents. Even cheaper are seeds harvested from your grocery store fruits and vegetables. Or your gardening neighbors would be more than happy to share their seeds and knowledge over a cup of coffee.
I can fix world hunger in 2 years.
In the vast majority of regions where hunger is endemic, the cause isn’t scarcity of food, it’s that food has been weaponized. Until you fix the government (or other controlling authorities), it doesn’t matter how much food they have.
Obesity seems more widespread than hunger.
But getting donations to treat it is prolly too hard.
