Wow, I guess all my old memories of starving people in Ethiopia and Indo-China who live where there isn't enough food production to support the population growth are fantasies then.

Personally I think Sam Kinison had the right idea - Don't send them food, send them Uhauls. That way they can move to WHERE THE FOOD IS!!

“Personally I think Sam Kinison had the right idea - Don’t send them food, send them Uhauls. That way they can move to WHERE THE FOOD IS!!”

two things

- many people will pick up and move on

- one area’s weather “loss” will be offset by other areas weather “gains” and what will adjust for those changes will be markets - creating profits in the gaining areas which will also add to investments in the additional distribution systems needed in the losing areas, creating jobs and adding to employment and incomes in both areas
