If you only ever read one of my posts in next 10 years, please make it this one!

Starvation & food insecurity, poverty, climate change, lack of access to clean water, and refugee rights are just some of the biggest challenges facing humanity. 

Some rough numbers to be aware of...

Estimates to FEED EVERY STARVING PERSON on the planet is about 17-18 Billion$/mth

ACCESS TO CLEAN WATER  to the 2.2 billion people who do not have it is estimated to be 250$ billion or 25$billion per year for 10 years or 2$ billion per month.

There is and estimated 500,000,000,000,000$ (500 Trillion) in total global wealth (including all land, stocks, gold, housing, planes, buildings, etc)

So to provide food and clean water to everyone on the planet in need would need 18Billion + 2Billion = 20billion per month.  This equates to 0.0004% of global wealth.

Forbes 2024 says there are 3029 billionaires on the planet with a combines wealth of 17 trillion. So to 100% solve starvation and lack of access to water, the worlds billionaires would need to contribute 0.12% of the net worth per month or 1.44% per year. 

It is immoral for the world to have such incredible wealth while children and adults die of starvation and have no drinkable water. 

If the 3 billion well off people on the planet all pledged to participate it would be solved in no time. 

By pledging .1% of personal wealth per month, it would not change  anyones lifestyle or quality of like one IOTA!

What this would actually mean in monthly dollar terms based on everyones personal net worth...

if you have a 100$ net worth that equals 10c per month (5-6 billion people)

if 1000$ net worth = 1$ per month (4 billion people)

if 10,000$ net worth = 10$ per month (3 billion people)

if 100,00$ net worth = 100$ per month (1.5 billiion people)

if 1 million net worth = 1000$ per month (60-70 millon people)

if 10 million net worth = 10,000$ per month (20-25 million people)

if 100 million net worth = 100,000$ per month (200k - 250k people)

if 1 billion net worth = 1 million per month (3000-3200 people)

if 10 billion net worth = 10 million per month (300-400 people)

if 100 billion net worth = 100 million per month (10-15 people)

We must come up with a plan! These are completely solvable problems. Its just money and a plan. United these are simple fixes. 

Or we continue with the status quo and go down in infamy as the absolute worst, most corrupt, least caring, most selfish society in the history of the planet and maybe the universe. 

At this point none of us have the solution of how this all gets fixed. Please join the below think tank group to help come up with the plan.
