A comment on Will cable TV be invaded by commercials? (1981). Parent comment
The net GDP of the world, divided by the number of people in it is a one-off 20k -- that amount solves almost no global problems.
As for 2m chickens dying, that's a one-off meal for c. 5 million people.
So one day of hunger for only 5m people was lost. Again: almost nothing.
World problems are solved through growth, not by saving a few lost dinners.
