    That’s what I am trying to tell you. There are no logistical problems we don’t have the capacity to solve, it’s simply not profitable to do so. Feeding the poor who can’t pay you isn’t profitable so it doesn’t get done.

      There is thinking there are no logistics problems we can’t solve and then there is actually solving them taking into account real geopolitics.

        So you admit then that the problems are political, not practical in nature?

          Geopolitical, as in a combination of political, cultural and geographical.

          I don’t think noting the problem is partially political is enough to say it’s easily solveable.

          I think we’re coming at this from a different philosophy, you see politics as something that is easily changeable, I see it as a product of environmental and cultural positions. Changing the entire world’s politics is a nigh on impossible task.

          You see geopolitics as a variable, I see it as a constraint on the actual variables.
