    We produce more than enough food to feed everyone. Even if you say something like logistics is an issue, we could still feed everyone in the developed nations at least, but we don’t. That’s a choice.

    Climate change is much more of a practical issue than starvation and poverty. We already have solutions for starvation as I said.

      We don’t have solutions for starvation at all on a global scale and we do try to feed everyone in developed nations that’s why countries have welfare. I agree the welfare safety net should be stronger generally, but I don’t think people starving to death is a widespread issue in developed nations. The homeless are much more likely to die due to lack of shelter or drug issues.

        We have enough food and we have a global shipping industry that is very efficient. So why can’t we feed everyone again?

          It’s clearly because we haven’t had a socialist revolution. That would sort all logistical and societal problems out forever.

            That’s what I am trying to tell you. There are no logistical problems we don’t have the capacity to solve, it’s simply not profitable to do so. Feeding the poor who can’t pay you isn’t profitable so it doesn’t get done.
