Default Re: Helping the Poor

From a poster in another thread:

[$600 billion could have] fed and educated the worlds poor for 7 years... that's fkn heartbreaking

There are some good minds on this forum so I'd like to pose an open ended question: Is it +EV in the long run to feed and give substantial aid to the world's poor?

I'll give my thoughts later.

The "V" in EV is for value. Inasmuch as "value" in this context is a vague and very subjective concept, I will say absolutely yes. But that of course is based on my own personal set of values.
