We didn’t have a scarcity problem, or a billionaire problem, we have a distribution problem. All the supplies in the world mean nothing if we can’t distribute the goods and service to everyone. You could snap your fingers and make unlimited food in front of you, but starvation would still be happening.

One hundred percent false and misleading. The billionaires are the scarcity problem. It’s the extreme hoarding of wealth.
All the supplies in the world mean nothing if we can’t distribute the goods and service to everyone.
We do not lack the means to distribute resources. That is always available. The lack of distribution is wilful, and not an unfortunate side effect of something working well.

Thankfully, you can see that there is a robust shipping infrastructure around the planet. Which once again negates the idea that it is an ability to distribute problem, and highlights the very real Unwilling to Distribute issue.
The hoarding of wealth isn’t an issue here. The wealth they have is stocks in companies, mansions, boats, jewelry, nice cars, ect. None of those things contribute to the problem of food distribution. If we killed every billionaire and took their assets none of it would help in the fight for world hunger.
Also we do lack the means of cheap distribution right now. Currently we would need to hire a ton more drivers, set up a ton more warehouses, more shipping boats, and fund the operations. Could it be done, maybe, but not in the current state.
I do agree it’s an unwilling adventure we don’t want to take, that’s why it hasn’t happened yet.
Here’s a plan that will wipe out world hunger in less than six months, and anhilate every so-called structural issue you care to claim:
List the wealthiest humans on the planet, and say out loud that food, shelter, education and Healthcare need to be spread more evenly.
State that the wealthiest humans on the planet will be executed one at a time, at the end of each month, until everyone feels pretty good about their basic needs. State that the executions will start with the wealthiest, and work down the list.
Is it a distribution problem if the owning class has actively prevented their global-scale logistics systems from being applied in a way that would benefit the poorest of the poor? Amazon and Walmart have the technology, resources, and knowledge to feed everyone in the world. It’s a solved problem. The problem is with who owns them and therefore who makes decisions about their operation.
I agree if we expand the distribution network we can realistically feed everyone. But in its current state it wouldn’t be realistic. Not sure we should be relying on Walmart and Amazon to solve works hunger though.

That wouldnt work. Not even close.
Poor countries are being kept poor by the world bank and the imf. We have a neocolonial problem.
I also agree with that.
