i feel it’s fairly modest
It’s not about the quantity of food though is it? Moreso money and access?
This is correct. We waste a solid 1/3 of the food we produce and import. And we’re nowhere close to maxing out our food production. We just prevent people from having access to it.
erhm actually ☝️ the food is not wasted it is disposed of 🤓 in order to maintain manufactured scarcity which keeps the price high and shareholders happy! 🤑 another win for capitalism
Yes, but don’t ignore the issue of logisitics as well. We can’t just magic the discarded food to everyone who needs it.
It’s also a big problem with the homeless. Yes, we technically have enough places that we could house them. But are all these homes within walking distance to food, public transport, health resources, and (for as long as there isn’t UBI) employment resources for them? How do we get them what they need to keep the place from falling apart around them, losing their home again?
How do we get people what they need, when they need it? Scarcity is mainly a problem of logistics now.
There’s a lot of failures of society, but very few are so simple to fix as “corpos stop being greedy”. Maybe once upon a time they were, but we’re going to need more on top of that now.
im not really sure i understand what you’re trying to say here. it seems like you’re just listing a bunch of problems and insinuating they’re either unsolvable or too hard to solve.
if you want to look at how to solve “the big problem” with homelessness, you could look at how finland is actively solving it, for example.
and i dont really know of many people who think that if “corpos stop being greedy”, then all the problems will be fixed. my experience is that people tend to instead think the problem is “it’s really bad that our laws cater to greedy corporations, and allow them to do terrible things. so, we should change those laws”.
but i dont know, maybe im misreading what you said or maybe im missing something.
I heard
Hunger is a logistics problem
maybe a decade ago… How long do you think it’s been true?
yeah don’t worry im aware and not ignoring it, just a meme fam :)
This is just a milder version of the potato famine situation

Billionaires shouldn’t exist
Why does the working class, the larger of the two classes, not simply eat the smaller one?
Perhaps they are saving that for a collapse.
That’s a rather Swift reaction

I feel like a lot of people here would advocate for a richer diet.
To be fair, it’s really cold in Ireland. Radiator heaters don’t do much unless you really crank it up full blast. Then again, I spent almost a year there, alone, in a place with a broken heater and never had sex with anyone.
I’ve heard the warmer the earth gets the better the seasoning.
The US had a sharp decline in 2007 during the financial crisis.
the un projects birth rates to remain steady through the 2050s
hahahahahah
confused bc this post is not abt the US
I’m aware. I was reinforcing the point the poster made by sharing a correlating macro trend.
i am the poster you might not be getting the joke.
You’re right. Woosh
happens to the best of us
… could you describe it as modest?
i could indeed
Yes? Please go on!
