      Sorry that I ask questions instead of accepting whatever. Claiming that you just need to throw X money at such an extremely complex issue and then it will be solved world wide is just laughable. As if there are no bad actors etc. pp.

        Just asking questions about if poor people should have enough food to live or if that would make them breed too much, no fucked-up Malthusian undertones here, nossir

          That was never the point. The point is precisely that many poor people will NOT see the money/food/help just like all the times before now.

          I also assume that, even if they miraculously really all get it, you will have at least one boomer generation, so more people per area that need to be fed. You then need to immediately get education up and running. Things then need to be stable for decades to make the fertility rate drop. It is not a simple “costs X then solved forever worldwide” kind of thing. It is also not something we can somehow “force” on them, at least not by throwing money at the problem.

        It is not whatever. I have provided a credible source for you for the numbers in another comment 6 hours ago. Please stop arguing in bad faith.

          Yes, you did provide a source. But you are neither of the 2 people I replied to, so I am not sure why you tell me this out how it is relevant to what I said to this other person?

      Money is only imaginary until I have to pay to keep a roof over my kids heads and feed them. Grow up and open your eyes.

        Damn bro thats crazy who do you have to pay this totally real money to, and why, and what happens if you don’t? You need to grow up and open your eyes, you’re like a medeival peasant telling me that the King’s authority is a natural and divinely ordained part of nature. It’s sad.

          Look, you can live in your parents bedroom not having to pay rent, surfing Lenny on thy internet you don’t pay for and act like you are the smartest person. Come to me when you get kicked out. Nice strawman by the way. Lrn to argue. But I get it, teenagers have a very small minded mentality. You’ll look back and realize how dumb you sound one day. Hopefully. Also hopefully your age matches your mental state. Otherwise you’re a lost cause.

              Look if you can tell me about some communist commune where I don’t have to do anything but posts shifty takes online, let me know. I’m down to be a bum. Otherwise you are aren’t old enough for real responsibilities and you don’t know better, or going to your boring 9-5 making your money to try to stay afloat and talking out your ass online.
