1 million people live on less than $1.25 a day; they’re called the bottom billion. 1 billion above that live on little less than $2. 12,000 children starve every day – which is 1 every 4 seconds. The advanced democracies could easily eradicate deep poverty within 10 years years.

We in US must recognize the mistakes & faulty thinking that have caused us to allow our own people to suffer with injustice, poverty, ignorance & poor health for so long. Once we learn how to change our own thinking & change our behavior toward each other, we can help others.

You know who is free. People who don't need debt notes from oligarchs to feed their family something that isn't poison we're told to eat as food by a vast criminal conspiracy.

1 million people are called the bottom billion? 🧐

Why do people living on the poverty level and barely able to feed themselves tend to breed like rabbits? Personal responsibility has to start somewhere.

An unfortunate inevitability of imperialist capitalism... youtube.com/u9y27Qg22po

Which is why people need to understand that if you live in a slum, then you shouldn’t have children. Foreign aid had only enabled and metastasized dysfunctional behavior.

Could advanced democracies see advantage in the genocide of neglect of the bottom billion because they see it as a form of population control? Depopulation reduces CO2 levels. Is that also why the GOP is concerned more about the Stock Market than about millions dying from Covid?

Pretty sure "advanced" should be in quotations
Replying to @marwilliamson
Yes. We have what we need. There is abundance. The lack is an illusion to allow for fear, manipulation. Invest in the people. Forgive and keep doing the next right thing.
