Food aid programs are a proven, effective way to lift people out of poverty.

And I’ve got news for you. If AI and robotics keeps replacing jobs, more and more people will end up jobless and require aid. It’s looking almost inevitable at this point that either capitalism will collapse, or there will be huge famines and people will be forced into slavery to pointlessly serve the wealthy elite.

On the other hand, the wealthy elite add nothing. No value. Not even from the point of capitalism. Not from any informed perspective.

It’s obvious which way this would go if you put competent people in charge. But instead of competence, our system favors the most corrupt.
