You canβt just throw money at the problem and expect it to just be solved. There are real underlying societal and infrastructure issues in a lot of impoverished countries that need to be solved in order for hunger to be solved. You could ship a billion tons of food to a single starving region and there would still be millions of starving people.
That's a strawman. No-one said "they should just, like, buy enough food to feed the hungry".
When people say it would cost x to solve world hunger, they are talking about those "underlying societal and infrastructure issues".
So, yes. Everything can be solved with money. You can hire people to "fundamentally understand local political dynamics", invest in research, pay to fund the programs that will enable impoverished regions to develop the means to build the infrastructure to feed themselves.
Additionally, simply handing out food would kill the domestic food industry (because who would buy food when billionaires are giving it away for free) and would make the country even more problematic.
Just because this is the idea you have in mind for how to solve hunger, and it is, as you rightly stated, a fucking stupid idea, doesn't make it the only idea.
We get birthdays off, not counting towards the 30 days paid holidays, which is completely separate from unlimited paid sick days. Oh, and also since last Wednesday, the entire company is on holidays, we're back 2nd week of January. Doesn't count towards the 30 days, of course π
