The next world war will not be fought over oil, energy, etc.

It will be fought over food. BUT, the above WILL be the catalyst for the later.

People have made claims that they want to help Haiti for decades. Usually nothing changes for the poor. Only the politicians (both Haitian and at times American) show obvious benefit. Right Hillary? Right Bill?

“And of course the US and Trump will be blamed;”

I was surprised Trump was not on the list.

Something about going where the food is and the film crews for “Feed The Children” keeping sandwiches away from the starving kids.

Money is shoveled into Haiti which only draws parasites.

The Haitian people end up with the poo end of the stick.

IIRC, the official government definition if hunger used to be you missed at least one meal a month.

Well, using that definition I think most folks would be time hungry most of the time.

Which was fine until people caught on.

So now it’s food insecurity.

Snort.

No starving in our country no matter what the rats say.

Most of our "poor" actually need to go on a diet.

Pretext for raising the immigrant ceiling to 155 million, why not at this point.

Food insecurity must be the new buzzword for famine and starvation.

Roughly one in fifty, 0.02, not 0.000019. You are understating by a factor of 1000.

I've lost all compassion for the irresponsible of this planet.

Yep those who are having their food taken from them by force should just conjure more out of thin air.
