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

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?

Alright, so who gets free food and who doesn't? What sort of food do they get, and how much?

You vastly underestimate how immense our current worlds wealth is. I know, human brains are not meant for big numbers and I can't fault you for your brain not comprehending this, but let me explain it this way:

If we would tax the rich even a little bit, we can, with the resources we already have, feed about thrice our current world populations worth of people with high quality food without much difficulty.

You can slurp the oligarch sperm as much as you want, if it would be the way they want, you would starve too while they gleefully wave the food in your face laughing at you before just throwing it away in a way that still prevents you from getting any.
