      Yeah only 1 in 5 people are starving to death in Asia and Africa. Fucking impressive.

      Great. Go explain to 1 in 5 people that smarter folks are working on it. In your fervor to engage in a battle of wits over that taunting post, you’re completely missing both the point of the leading tweet and the fact that actual humans are starving to death anyway.

      No one denies that, and no one denies hat it’s awful. The question is what should we do now? And the answer is we should double down on what’s working, because it objectively is.

      The sassy commentary to which i replied doesn’t say that; the lead tweet clearly states that there’s plenty of food now. Might be a good moment to take your hands off the keyboard and contemplate a child starving to death right now, rather than dominating a twitterfight.

      I want less people to die and I think capitalism is our only shot at that. I AM considering starving children. That’s not lack of sympathy it’s reality.

          Guess what: I’m a capitalist. I also understand markets. Really well. Like, studied that shit. Lived it. The glib answer that “The market will fix it” is just a thin facade over an actual ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

          … for some problems involving actual humans in the real world at the actual present moment, the market ain’t enough. There is absolutely nothing new or terribly insightful in that observation. That’s just the way things are.

          Footnote: capitalism IS provably responsible for the greatest disparity in wealth distribution in the history of the US... probably in the recent history of the planet, particularly in “democratic” and/or “capitalist” countries. I won’t work out the all the math here but QED.

          Yes, creating insane amounts of wealth will cause income disparity

          … and that’s the ultimate outcome of unregulated capitalism… Not making a value judgement here, just assessing the facts. It’s tragic that humans behave like this, but they do.
