Zone1 The global hunger crisis is directly linked to unprotected sex in third world countries. Prove me wrong.

[Woodznutz]

People facing extreme adversity or poverty continue to have children due to a combination of deeply rooted biological drives, structural limitations, cultural norms, and psychological resilience. While onlookers viewing a crisis from the outside may see bringing life into a harsh environment as reckless, the families living through it often operate under entirely different survival dynamics, social structures, and emotional realities. [1, 2]

They keep having kids because kids keep dying.

One for the crow,
One to rot, and
One to grow. -Olde English Planting Rhyme.

Humanitarian Relief Organizations focus on feeding them and do little if anything to help prevent the root cause of the problem. IMO those organizations MUST provide not just condoms but sterilization services along with relief aid.

They won't use condoms. Sterilization might work. We catch and sterilize feral animals, why not feral people?

There's always a hunger crisis somewhere.

And yet the OP didn't bother to explain anything.

I think he was suggesting that unprotected sex leads to unwanted children; more mouths to feed than the country can provide for.

With high mortality rates in the third-world, having a large family is one methodology for family survival.

Not a peep in the OP about Trump exacerbating world hunger via gutting USAID.

Musk presented no evidence of fraud when he gutted the USAID program.

There is some fraud in every government program and under every administration.

I've brought up this subject a few times since I joined and I usually get lots of hysterical replies from bleeding hearts who don't think very well. But I want to bring it up again since the world's population grew by over 1 billion JUST IN THE LAST TEN YEARS. What is much much worse is that over half of that population growth occurred in the poorest countries in the world.

There are dozens of so called humanitarian organizations who provide food, water and health services. The only one that I've found that addresses population control is:

UNFPA (United Nations Population Fund): This is the UN agency dedicated to sexual and reproductive health. They promote and fund family planning, including male and female sterilization, in developing countries and frequently partner with local clinics to run voluntary vasectomy campaigns.

There still seems to be a stigma about this and I don't understand why. How can these poor desperate people be wanting to bring kids into their Hellish world? Is that not child abuse? Many of these kids never know anything but burning hunger and pain before they die. The leading nations of the world need to get over the stigma and start taking action.

Although your thesis is logical I do believe that the entire world economy can be vastly better by January of 2029?

Corruption at the very top is a far worse problem than your Opening Post dwells on.

[The Truth About Money: The Money SystemIsnt There a Better Way?
by Francis and Lia Ayley] :

"City in Austria Printed Local Currency
Worgl, like many other European towns and cities, was hit hard by the Great Depression. There was mass unemployment; four of the five local factories had closed, and the people were starving in the streets. Nobody had any money to buy anything. One of the features of an economic depression is that there is not enough money in circulation to ensure that people can meet their basic needs, and in the 1930s, the shortage of currency in many countries of the world became catastrophic.

The mayor of Worgl, together with local businessmen, decided to try to break this economic impasse by creating their own local currency. They printed and issued 60,000 Austrian shillings worth of local currency. These shillings could only be spent in Worgl, so they remained in the local community and were exchanged over and over again.

The positive impact was immediate and surprising to everyone. In only six weeks, unemployment disappeared, all the factories had reopened and everyone had food. For the inhabitants of Worgl, the economic depression was gone. This dramatic transformation became known as the “miracle of Worgl.” Surrounding towns, inspired by the success of Worgl, immediately started printing their own local currencies.

Sadly, the miracle did not last long. When the Austrian Central Bank heard about Worgl’s local currency, they initiated legal proceedings against the mayor and local businessmen. According to Austrian banking law, it was illegal for anyone except the Austrian Central Bank to issue money. The bank won the court case, and the mayor was ordered to shut down the local currency, which he did, under threat of imprisonment. The town then returned to the devastating economic depression of the 1930s, with all the human pain and suffering associated with this catastrophe. Factories closed, and once again, the people starved.

Alternative Currency in the U.S.
Irving Fisher, an American professor of economics at Yale University, visited Worgl before the local currency was suppressed and witnessed the ‘miracle’ firsthand. When he returned to the United States, Fisher spread the word by traveling and lecturing across the country, advocating the use of the Worgl ‘scrip’ everywhere. Inspired by his vision, hundreds of communities began issuing their own currency, and by 1934 there were over 1,000 local communities using ‘scrip’ throughout the U.S.

Every one of these communities experienced a tremendous rejuvenation of their local economies. They thrived while others suffered. Fisher then met with President Franklin D. Roosevelt, proposing the implementation of government-sanctioned local ‘scrip’ in every community in America. When FDR consulted with his top financial advisors and bankers, however, he was advised to shut all the ‘scrip’ systems down, which he did. Instead, he borrowed large amounts of money from bankers, at interest, and used it to pay for the Reconstruction Finance Corporation and the other work-creation projects, which collectively came to be known as the ‘New Deal.’ So ended the last widespread use of a local currency within the U.S.

This pattern of economic collapse and re-emergence of local currencies has occurred thousands of times in many parts of the world. When these currencies have failed or have been suppressed, banks have not always been to blame. Sometimes, local currencies fail because they have been badly designed or implemented. Sometimes, people lose interest in them when the mainstream economy recovers. But they have always returned in one form or another during times of economic failure.

Our present world situation is uniquely different. Despite a relatively prosperous and stable world economy, a quiet monetary revolution has been occurring around the globe over the last 20 years. Awareness is growing about the flaws in our current monetary system, and people are re-creating viable alternatives. We are witnessing for the first time the worldwide creation of money systems designed by the people who use them, instead of by central banks.

The population is getting older, sicker, living longer, and having fewer families.

Unless you view it in the morality lens. You remember what that is.

It's "immoral" to raise children you can afford to supply with every need?

While stationed in Korea in 1963 we were paid in "scrip", which was only spendable on military bases (which included Korean owned businesses like laundry services and barbers). We called it "mickey mouse money". It worked fine. When we left Korea we exchanged it for American money.

I guess it's easier to persuade people to eliminate their reproductive capacity then to abstain from sex.. until they are married and ready to reproduce.

They need kids to help them make food, and take care of them when they get old.

If you provide women the opportunity to make a little money, they have fewer kids.

It's also cheaper than the alternatives (assuming you're not a sociopath).
