have we conaidered nukes
fixing systematic issues is difficult and unresponsive to most of the levers that most people have available to them
A fun but totally unrelated fact: the gravitational force of black holes distorts space and time near itself so much, that the closer you get to it, the slower the flow of time is. The most curious part is – there’s a specific point called event horizon, and once the matter crosses it – it can never be recovered, as it is lost to the black hole forever, because the gravity of the hole itself overcomes the momentum of the matter. So one could say that time itself stops at the event horizon. 
I’d unironically offer to clean your room because I like when things are organized.

How is a conversation about innuendos coexisting with a conversation about nukes

that would technically solve the problem ‘people are starving’ by causing there to be fewer people
this is a good illustration of Goodhart’s Law

because the people sending the money is the problem
most 3rd world countries have national debt in the billions and maybe trillions
because of past colonial rule and a late industrial start most of those countries are poor to begin with and have to borrow money from their former tormentors to keep their economy afloat
so problems are “getting fixed” by pouring money into a sinkhole
because if they try to actually fix it
then the developed nations actually “suffer” from it
It was in an economic journal somewhere that for 1 american to have a prosperous life 6 people somewhere else in the world have to starve
who’d want to “solve the problem” that is not the tormented people themselves
