If the US gov’t wanted to eradicate poverty, it could do so much to eradicate poverty. If it wanted to eradicate hunger, it could do so much to eradicate hunger. If it wanted to eradicate illiteracy, it could do so much to eradicate illiteracy. The lesson here? It really doesn’t.

I have a hard time saying "The government doesn't want to". People who currently control the government have no interest in doing anything because the people who pay them have completely different ideas.

It's almost as though they use poverty, hunger, illiteracy, etc., to control and manipulate people, isn't it.

For the cost of less than the money America's billionaires made in 2020 alone, we could plant 1 trillion trees (about a dollar each) and offset the majority of earth's entire human population for a century.
