A small group of ultra-wealthy individuals could help solve world hunger with just a fraction of their net worth, says the director of the United Nations' World Food Program. Billionaires need to "step up now, on a one-time basis," David Beasley said. cnn.it/3mokt3b
@CNN What an observation, finally someone of vision, caring! Kindness is catching! @UN @WHO @BillGates @elonmusk @JeffBezos @george Soros – $25.2/Steven Ballmer – $30.3/Sheldon Adelson – $ 32.3/Sergey Brin – $40.1/Larry Page – $41.1/Michael Bloomberg – $47.5/Larry Ellison – $54.6/Etc!
@juschitz_h @CNN @UN @WHO @BillGates @elonmusk @JeffBezos @george US federal budget (annual) 4.5 trillion. Annual US military budget 750 billion. Why is the US government not using a small fraction of that to end world hunger?
@ElmarMoelzer @juschitz_h @CNN @UN @WHO @BillGates @elonmusk @JeffBezos @george Well, the American government has donated billions of dollars allover the world than in any other country on this planet
@ElijahWere247 @juschitz_h @CNN @UN @WHO @BillGates @elonmusk @JeffBezos @george And why would a few billion more make a difference, then? They wouldn’t because the problem is not a matter of money alone.
@ElmarMoelzer @juschitz_h @CNN @UN @WHO @BillGates @elonmusk @JeffBezos @george -$265 billion to end world hunger. Source; global Giving. - $150 billion to provide universal clean water allover the world. Source; FAO - $300 billion to deal with the effects of climate change. And you know what? The combined net worth of world's billionaires is $8.5 trillion.
@ElijahWere247 @juschitz_h @CNN @UN @WHO @BillGates @elonmusk @JeffBezos @george And that is net "worth" and not cash on hand. Also, this is peanuts compared to the yearly US federal budget. Heck, Musk's net worth is not even half the annual defense budget. Also above article claimed 2% of his net worth was enough.
