An international (English speaking) socialist Lemmy community free of the “ML” influence of instances like lemmy.ml and lemmygrad. This is a place for undogmatic shitposting and memes from a progressive, anti-capitalist and truly anti-imperialist perspective, regardless of specific ideology.
Rules:
Be a decent person.
No racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, zionism/nazism, and so on.
Other Great Communities:

There's no one exact figure, the total cost would vary a lot based on how you did it. If you're just buying food it would be about 6-10 billion per year. But just handing out lots of food has economic consequences. The more effective methods of infrastructure investment, and local agricultural and trade development would cost up to $250 billion a year.
@meat I'm not an expert in world hunger, the WHO on the other hand do have expertise in this particular domain. I don't recall the details of the published plan. I do recall that Musk refused to engage with the agency that made and published the plan.
If you publicly offer to fund something if someone else can come up with a plan under a budget you both specify, and can afford, it's not a good look to refuse to fund the plan when it is created.
