    Technically we’ve solved world hunger. We’ve just not fixed it, as the greedy fucks who hoard most of the resources of this world don’t see immediate capital gains from just helping people.

    Pretty much the only real problem is billionaires being in control.

      True that. We have the means to fix so many problems, we just have a very very very small few that reeeeally don’t like to do anything good with their money, and instead choose to hoard it, at the expense of everyone else.

        Oh cmon they don’t hoard the money. They use it to pay each other/politicians to make sure the status quo remains.

          They hoard rights and powers, usually. The right to control property and capital far in excess of reasonable private comfort, the right to a share of a company’s profit for using that property and capital, the right to influence its course and all the powers deriving from that.
