   I don’t thinks it’s paranoid to notice that one of the richest men on earth could have ended world hunger and still be rich but decided instead to spend $44 Billion to destroy one of the most effective community activism hubs we’ve ever had.

     In his defense, the UN I believe?, completely failed to present a plan when he asked for one

     @coolboymew @cogitoergocum because there is no "plan", no matter how much money your throw at it, you cannot just magically solve logistic and political issues that result in hunger

     @ep1 @cogitoergocum I'm not completely sure there can be no plan, but that only means it was empty virtue signaling and I fucking loathe empty virtue signaling

     Over 600 billion in aid to Africa since 1960 hasn't made Africa not be a shithole, and in that time the locals managed to destroy the breadbasket of Africa. Money won't ever solve world hunger.

     @Leyonhjelm @cogitoergocum Imagine the amount of shit we could fix if we stopped wasting money to that level

     I firmly believe it is immoral for any indebted government to give foreign aid

     fixing world hunger would require massive changes that would never happen

     @coolboymew @cogitoergocum @ep1 there can actually be a plan but you'll need the collaboration of dozens of countries with a shitton of people working on it for years and years and years and even then you'll have uncontrollable variants
     and it comes down to "yeah they have food now but they still live in a guerrilla heavy zone with no future at all with a government that wants them to die in diamond mines or whatever" so it's better but not by much, sadly

     should that money have been used used for something else? ofc
     but just saying that it could have solved world hunger based on a pretty much empty promise by the UN is disillusional
     if it was that easy and people there actually wanted to do it then it would have been done years ago

     @Leyonhjelm @MischievousTomato @cogitoergocum @coolboymew there's a reason why there's laws against government officials receiving gifts from from foreign interests

     @Leyonhjelm @cogitoergocum @coolboymew i think that giving out foreign aid is a nice gesture, but doing so when you have similar issues of your own in your own land is just plain stupid

     "nice gesture" is not a proper role of government
