It'd take 37bn USD a year to end world hunger. I'm also sure that if you are a ghoul and don't care about that 100bn in investments would have a far bigger return on investment if they I dunno fixed their failing infrasctructure, used it to offer free healthcare, free education or literally anything. I've since stopped counting the amount of 'lethal aid' the USA has given but by now the USA could've combatted world hunger for about 4 years. Priorities I guess gotta pump up those MIC stock prices.
Remember when Elon pretended to care about this and tweeted at the UN about how he'd give billions if they could produce a report showing how they could use $6 billion to help alleviate world hunger problems? And then he didn't do anything except self-deal?

I'm shocked, I thought
was a stand up guy who wanted to uplift humanity.
I love how the hexbear emojis inline nicely across the fediverse that is 👌👨🍳
What I fear is other instances ripping off the idea and having a much weaker emoji game, though
The drawn version of ppb is massive apparently and takes up like half the screen on other instances (which is really funny).
Demonstration:
ppb
It is a weapon which must be wielded with care, I say.
