Could all billionaires combined end world hunger?
with their combined wealth and power, if they really wanted to i think they could easily afford to, and set up the infrastructure and distribution systems needed to maintain food security everywhere. but alas! the problem now isn't even that we can't afford to feed every mouth on the planet. if my understanding is right, the problem is moreso in how food distribution is prioritized globally. but otherwise we have produce plenty of food to go around
I'm going to go against the grain and say yes, absolutely.
But its about putting systems and processes in place to ensure a consistent flow of resources reaches the people in need.
Billionaires have both the money and influence to do this.
No. The way the economy works makes just paying to feed the hungry not sustainable. Only changing the reasons why people cannot earn what they need to sustain their life might help ending the hunger.
It even takes far less than all of them.
Well its possible, but I think it would be naive to think this is an issue you can just through money at. Plenty of large scale charities have tried before to no success. With their combined influence and attention on the mater (as well as their funds) I think they could likely do this - the question is if they could sustain the end to it.
Yes. Currently half the world survives on less than $2 US dollars a week. Every celebrity in Hollywood accounts for about 30% of all green house gas emissions while comprising less than .0001% of the world population. They can probably end starvation if they 'settled' on owning just one yacht or didn't fly on private jets.
