    A largely organizational issue, we currently throw out at least 30% of all our food, not to mention we already consume way more than healthy by any metric and we still have much more on the planet to exploit. We live in an unprecedented time of access and yet all 3 super powers are hellbent on preserving poverty like it’s their cultural heritage or something. There’s absolutely no rational reason Africa shouldn’t be among the most prosperous regions, just like there’s no rational reason that at least 20% of Russians don’t even have running water, let alone warm or drinking water or that America as the richest of em all, still can’t provide the most basic needs for its citizens like almost every other country. Nearly all famines and insecurities with few exceptions around the world are 100% man made.

      All I know is that life is hard but things could be a lot harder so I’m never having kids so I can focus on looking out for myself. Things could be a whole lot better too. The last thing any government deserves is for us to reward and enable them by birthing more babies.
