Isn’t that why half the population of sub Saharan Africa is under the age of 25
Sigh. You cannot end world hunger through charity. Give Third Worlders a lot of food and money, they just have more babies. Freedom, not charity, is the only way.https://twitter.com/HasBezosDecided/status/1158917148015808512 …

Yep. What we really need to give them is "condom aid".

Actually, it's not just freedom, but knowledge and education. There was a show back in the mid-2000s called "Millionaire's Mission" where entrepreneurs were invited to a rural village in Uganda to see if they could tackle the poverty problem better than the NGOs. Worth a watch.

Charity is the most humiliating way of treating a person. Second is paying them a lower salary than someone else for doing the same job.

And Third Worlders will have more babies because that’s how we grow our wealth. A House with no one is just an empty house with a fancy crest above a fireplace.

So should the US just stop it's foreign aid? We spend a considerable amount of money on basically feeding people in impoverished countries, both for the humanitarian side and b/c of natl. security, supposedly. This is a form of charity and a ton of people would die without it.

We disrupt local economies with our free food making farmers unable to compete in the local market price wise, so they stop producing. Neighbor states must help with sustainable solutions. Our altruism is exploited to create worse longer term suffering once we go broke.

Fair enough. What would you propose as a solution, though? Just cutting off that funding/food obviously ends a lot of lives and creates a bigger problem. Maybe using some of the funding to set up self-sustaining farms and then a gradual/steady reduction in aid in the years after?

It’s not doing charity, it’s bullying someone else because he thinks they’re not charitable enough. If he makes the money and donates it that’s charity. He’s doing that by selling anti-Bezos merch and claims it’s not capitalism b/c he chooses to give 100% of the profit to WFP.

Here's a different way of putting this that fits in with our Libertarian Right politics: Business is to be preferred to charity; charity is to be preferred to government.
