OTTAWA - The government's fiscal watchdog says a guaranteed basic income program at the federal level could cut poverty rates in Canada by up to 40 per cent.
Apparently you aren’t smart enough to figure it out
We have more than enough arable land to feed everyone on earth.
And to buy more land costs…to ship further costs…to ship more costs…
India buys an unbelievable amount of fertilizer from Russia just so they can grow foods.
Droughts are going to be ever more popular due to climate change
Food prices are only as low as they are due to slavery
And since you don’t get it land and fertilizer are finite. You can’t go to another country and just take it, so if that arable land isn’t within your borders it might as well not exist
We waste about a third of the food we produce.
Irrelevant to the topic
Also, I hope you realize that you’re saying it’s ok to let some people starve, right?
You need to reread because I very clearly said the opposite
100% relevant, we can feed more people that suddenly have the money to buy food they couldn’t before just by wasting less of what we produce, meaning we don’t need to exploit more land than we do now, impact on production is nil, impact on groceries is positive.
So your argument is we don’t produce more food, people just buy what is there regardless of age or defects because now they can pay full price for it even though that food is currently discounted and still doesn’t sell
The reason the food is wasted is because we produce more than people purchase, but at the same time we’ve got people starving, we don’t just waste stuff that has defects.
Hell, that food that’s too old to sell wasn’t too old to sell from the moment it was produced, I’m sure even you are able to wrap your head around that concept!
We can feed everyone with the food we already produce if we just let those who are starving be able to get their hands on what we would otherwise waste instead of letting the capitalists win.
You are still wrong but again, it’s not an excuse to not do this
Funny how when we increase minimum wage that’s exactly what happens though
Imagine you have a garden, you can feed yourself off it
Now add one more person, you can no longer feed everyone off that garden
That’s before we get into soil deterioration, but I am sure you’re smart enough to figure out why you were wrong

I’m done here, this is ridiculous.
