It is not easy to explain this with in a thread but if you learn the rise of our modern world it will make sense why there are starving people. Yes there are solutions but you can't just make everyone that happy, don't forget that humans are greedy and don't trust and cooperate with each other for no reason.

"people starve because CEOs want an 8% return on their capital" doesn't change anything about this.

History is in fact full of examples of you being wrong

but it seems to me that most sustainable and only living(dont bs me with china, cuba, iran and others many of them are problamatic except china which many people still suffer) system is capitalism, if you consider more than 8 billion people and each one of them only care about their own local communities(familt, friends etc.)(I ignore small percantage of people who are charity workers etc.) it will make sense I hope

You're currently full of bad takes, aren't you?

yea, sure. then think about the recent oil production downsize that the Saudis did just to keep the oil prices high because supply-demand dictates prices.

β€œthe economy” is a social construct that is affected by reality and affects reality, but it still is not reality. it reflects what expectations people have and how they are planning based on these expectations, but all of these are choices, not inevitable forces of nature
