@JohnChampagne We could also help developing farming in those countries.

@mlawes1 When we respond to food shortages by sending boatloads of food rations, we make it harder for farmers in the affected area to sell their produce, thereby making farming less profitable. Fewer people will try to do farming. So food shortages in the future become more likely.

A better way would be to share natural resource wealth equally, so that everyone has at least a little money. In drought-affected regions, we could send more, so people can still buy food even as the price goes up.

@JohnChampagne In 1985 Bob Geldof almost single handedly created 'live aid' to raise millions of pounds to save people suffering from the ethiopian famine.

Afterwards, he recorded "The Great Song of Indiference" which is probably the most ironical song ever sang. Of course he cared very much and spent years trying to convince others that they should. But all that was about twentyfive years ago. Without knowing the background, it may not seem the same.

This IS a political proposal. Some thing called sarcasm...in fact it tells you to care, to mind and to be aware of the blessings of having a voice and a vote.

It leads to the core problem of democracy, having a voice and not to use it for the right things, just because

you dont care...

but never mind, i don't care at all...

May I assume Geldof is vegan?

I understand that this is art and not a policy proposal, but if governments fall, then there would hardly be any chance that we could impose any effective limits on overall rates of CO2 emissions, forest destruction, other forms of envmntl degradation, etc., not to mention a chance to create a policy that says industries will pay a fee -- proceeds going to all people -- when they take natural resources or pollute the air and water. Oops-hardly a chance of that now

First heard this when I was Three years old me and my dad used to listen to it on his record player. The letters on the album cover used to make me laugh all the "Z"'s. 13 years later we still sit and listen to it. I don't think I could have had a better start into music. Thanks dad!
