Almost half the world — over three billion people — live on less than $2.50 a day.

So much for capitalism...........

You do realise that $2.50 buys quite a lot in some places?
I'm not going to defend the gap in wealth between rich and poor but the point that you deliberately overlook is that the poorest are less poor than ever before despite the sharp upward curve in population.

We must also accept that your beloved system would see even more poor people if they were even alive.

I posted ref uk poverty on a post that people in real poverty would laugh when we or certain parts of society bang on about poverty here.
Food banks and kids with no breakfast etc. Sad i know but no more than that.
When did we sweep up people dead from starvation.

I think you're find that the reasons for that have little to do with the capitalistic system and more to do with IQ and corruption.

It isn't ok though.....No individual is at fault for where they are born....the circumstances in which they are born and the genetics they were born with.

Then again....while it isn't ok it isn't my fault or concern either.....other than a desire for reasonable humanitarian progress.

Unfortunately, human progress will mean the end of planet Earth as we know it. We cannot have 9 billion wealthy consumers. 20 billion poor Asians and African will Eat up the planet's resources, including Europe's, like a raging fire within 200 years unless we act to control population size and spread. Being poor will be the least of our problems.

All valid concerns.....but you know they won't be addressed.

Perhaps in the old days.....not with today's numbers.

Sterilization.....is the elephant in the room.
