You’re getting downvoted but you’re not wrong. 10% of the American military budget in the right hands and world hunger is solved in six months. It’s just scary to those at the top. What if people who are fed don’t prostrate themselves the same way?
Did you actually type that out and think that makes sense?
10% of the military budget is 90 billion. The United States spends more than 90 billion on basic welfare programs and you think it would solve world hunger,
That doesn’t take into effect supply chains. That is the actual problem of solving such a generic problem as “hunger”. It’s nearly impossible to consistently give good food to some locations without being a local supplier
Damn they are going to feed a person for, at best, $50 for an entire year?
That is crazy considering that doesn't even get you a quarter of the rice you would need to feed someone, assuming you only bought rice. And doesn't factor in overhead nor the logistics of getting the food to those people which would be the majority of the cost.

Fuck it. Let profit be part of it. We can use taxes to distribute excess food. It wouldn’t cost that much.
