    For those not doing the math - assuming a trillion dollars just gets dumped into a bucket labeled “world hunger” (because we as the world decide to start taxing millionaires, billionares, etc heavily), and assuming we’d need $93 million to eradicate it annually, we could eradicate world hunger for the next 10,752 years.
