I find it interesting that the government pays farmers not to cultivate some of their land.

Fairly relevant to the original topic.

Might help if we stopped stealing all their shit. There is only one stipulation of how to help tird world countries and its stop fucking them up the ass.

As for feeding te world it would be easy if we didn't live in a system tat promotes unproductivity as good and short-term planning as ideal

I won't argue with a lot of the rest of it. I wonder a bit about context for some of them, especially the health care stuff, but it is, for what I can tell, all technically true, and some of it is pretty damning.

Yes. That would be the most kick-ass best thing ever in the history of ever. We'll see how long those drug cartels last against perhaps the best fighting force in the world. And by that I mean launch missiles at the drug lords from over here, where they can't hit us back.

Actually, you could probably do a large amount of damage to drug cartels by legalizing some drugs. Probably be more effective than simple violence, too.

Or at least decriminalizing.

They aren't ever going to legalize heroin or crack, though.

And as long as rich people want their drugs, there will be a demand for them.
