I'm dumb. I can't figure out how to end world hunger. But I do promise that I will continue to change healthcare in this country and make it more affordable, possibly setting a path towards Universal Healthcare.

If you can't figure out how your money could help end hunger, then you aren't quite as smart as you think you are.

USE YOUR INFLUENCE TO *DO* SOMETHING!!!
The West needs to stop taking more than their fair share. The world has no food shortage or shortage of farm land. It's a shortage of will.
The people with the will don't have the money.
The people with the money want to use it to go to Mars.
People don't want to end it. That's why

LIBERATE EVERY WOMAN IN THE WORLD.
ALLOW WOMEN TO DECIDE WHEN OR EVEN IF WE HAVE CHILDREN.
Let WOMEN manage world population.
In fact let WOMEN manage everything.
Men have been in charge for most of human history.
And look where it's gotten us.
I'm so tired of these privileged white men barking and biting all day, and not getting anything done.
Let’s face it. They couldn’t do any worse.
Imagine if all the wealthiest individuals in the world got together and actually tried to help make the world a better place for everyone..
We can dream
The rich are no different than the rest of us. Most are decent people, but only a few of us humans have the altruistic drive to dedicate their lives to helping the needy.
And some people are actually mean. Its hard to get rich if you're mean, but sometimes one manages (c.f. DJT).
Life as a paraplegic comes with daily struggles, and I’m reaching out for support. Please consider donating or sharing my GoFundMe to help a disabled paraplegic in need. Your generosity and kindness can truly change a life!✨🔗 https://gofund.me/0af928df
Thank You for trying.
We need affordable healthcare and that is a good path to be on!
I need an accredited investor. On the other side, there are plenty of wealthy people just sitting on their piles of cash and not helping anyone but themselves and their own. Why?
NONE of these things can be fixed w/o baby steps FIRST. At least ur trying to make changes.
Ignore the idiots. We appreciate your knowledge & help.
And then you call people who call him out "idiots"? Good lord, put the kool-aid down.
You gonna send US troops to Ukraine to secure those resources?
It's just a fucking lie. Shame on you and Cuban for legitimizing Trump's actions
You're telling me suddenly Russia will hand that over to US troops?
It's just a fuckin lie to continue to pressure Ukraine into taking a deal that ultimately benefits Russia. Trump is, and always has been, a Russian asset. Bill Barr lied about the Mueller report
So how will you secure those resources?
Particularly
This line is parroted by conservatives that have been infiltrated by the Russian propaganda bundle - which is to say, most
Why can't American billionaires follow Cuban's example?
What's wrong with having a billionaire focusing on a specific American economic/social issue, that they are passionate about, with their resources/expertise?
Especially needed now that the government is abandoning people in need.
Peds MD in UC/ER for 25yrs, if they cut Medicaid…
kids will still get sick. Children’s Hospitals will cut staff&services/cease to exist. Sans Medicaid, kids won’t be seen by PCPs/UCs. ERs will be flooded (EMTALA requires they be seen). System will crater. Kids will suffer.
"Dumb" would ignore the problem. "Dumb" would bitch that since it's not perfect, it's not a good solution. "Dumb" would ...

I guess all this needs is the funding and cooperation.
Better late than never, but always keep in mind that a privatized healthcare will never been an answer, should be a public service, as such outta still be cautious with who implements this, praise good deeds, shun the evil acts.
All hat no cattle
People who have *always* thought that the rich could do more to help the poor? Or maybe even been taught that, somewhere?
AND I applaud your work toward universal healthcare.
Work with city, realtors, utilities, and GCs for facility updates with infrastructure, robotics, AI. Hire city talent. Dist production with donated >% going to community, ^% to MS market/restaurants for cost/profits. Regional business overlay
This structure looks Amazing & I am in love with Urban farming. Vertical is the way to go. 🌍
Creativity & science.
Also, Microgreens. Crazy fast growth, intense Nutrition.
Along the lines of what Dan Price did a few years ago. Gave all his employees min $70k and lowered his too. Productivity skyrocketed.

Musk owns 3 transportation related companies, Space X, Tesla, Boring Company.
He has the money and the transportation engineers in his employ that could address the logistics of moving food issue.
He CHOOSES not to.
I’m not really interested in discussing who or why that someone in particular should be “the one”. I’m more concerned with how many billionaires exist and aren’t helping at all.
Is it responsible for people to put the solution to world hunger on the back of an individual who makes billions?
Wouldn’t it be better if governments, with vastly more money, resources, and political clout, did it?
The reason hunger exists in many places is due to the logistics of getting the food to people.
It’s also a political and business issue in places like the U.S. that want to prioritize profits over providing.
Ending USAID and gutting the American system of government goes a long way to reducing the number of hungry people to feed.

He is nothing if not actionable.
— fairly redistribute the land;
— promote small scale, organic agriculture for local markets;
— employ renewable energy and water systems;
— plant trees to fight desertification;
— slowly move to plant-based diet;
— think global, act local
Agreement is hard.
What else?
the worldwide organizations that do the work.
You have access to the wisdom accrued, so why does your question sound like a lazy musing?
Seems you are a little shaky on rights to food and healthcare.
Why promises of bits and pieces of life support?
Start by paying for breakfast and lunch for every student in your hometown regardless of income.
That won't end world hunger but it's a start in the right direction
You wot get anything done in the next 4 years.
They would have systems that operate in any environment.
Corruption is a big reason, money doesn't fix that, in a lot of ways makes it worse.
they came up with a plan for President Musk, but he chose to buy Twitter instead
You run lots of companies. How does competition help or hurt a business? How competition helping Healthcare right now?
Since I’m not a billionaire, you’re the only billionaire that I would want, and my non-billionaires club😊
We can make difference! Some of us want to volunteer and can afford to, but there is red tape.
I am looking into buying land to give away for tiny homes for those who need a place to live, but septic systems/wells are expensive! Gov needs to be easier
If the supply of food increases, food prices should come down, ceteris paribus.
If the price of food comes down, additional consumption occurs, possibly reducing waste.

This will require a multifaceted approach with broad cooperation across cultures. You’re not dumb for not having solved this problem.

Many offered mark ways to participate in American stimulus. They were largely ignored/mocked.
How much money do you have access to, total, from all your work and savings and every object you own? For $2000 you could probably end hunger in your town. Why haven't you done it?
I think its pretty crazy (and wrong) to think that I'd be a republican, or have "rich buddies" because of that!
And also that we can, each one of us, help people every day and we shouldn't expect others to use their time and resources the same ways we choose to use our own.
I just hate to see someone getting mad because someone else makes different choices. I would never find happiness telling someone else how to spend their money.

Ending animal agriculture would go far for solving world hunger!
However, that doesn't mean we will be ok with everything you say. Extortion is never ok.
