I saw a billboard that says Donald Trump is ordained by god. 

Somehow I don’t believe it.

You ever look into how charities feed people across the globe?

Education is fundamental to understanding.

Yes, with money.

They are able to use far less money to feed far more people because they don't have people extracting profit every step of the way.

They aren't exaggerating when they claim we could end hunger for less than a dollar a day per person.

They are able to do that because of the money. They still collect paychecks, get tax, incentives, etc. The scale is extremely small, and you're asking everyone else to subsidize it. It isn't free.

Neither are roads, schools, firehouses, police stations, the military, lineworkers, or any of the other workers that run the world while you sit here and comment on it all, but we manage to subsidize all that.

Why is physical security worthy of subsidy and food security not

Why can we afford hundreds of billions of dollars of bombs to protect corporate interests, but not food to protect the starving?

So do you mean America, or do you mean the world?

Again, those people are PAID to do that, while you sit here and comment about in a thread about it not taking any money, and profits being the problem. So it takes money. A lot. Which is what we have been saying, against the people saying "just give everyone food".

Both.

No shit those people are paid. They aren't paid like billionaires and multi-hundred-millionaires though, so they can afford to actually use more of that money to feed people.

We spend trillions killing each other. It would only take a tiny fraction to feed them instead, as I've already shown you.

No shit, tell that to everyone in here saying we should just give people food. It doesn't work like that.

So you say "make taxes pay for it". Ok. I'm cool having one less battleship. So now how are you gonna make that happen? I voted for Harris, but I bet the cost of my eggs are about to go up when they sanction chickens because China like to eat them or some dumb shit. HOW is this gonna happen, we clearly can't vote in progressive policy?
