Some problems are much easier to solve than others. The problems you are bringing up are far more intractable and far harder and more expensive to solve.

OK they’re harder but they’re also potentially more important and valuable to solve.

They’re still solvable but we simply do not value solving them.

Domestic hunger is really not a hard problem to solve. Rice, beans, and vegetables cooked in bulk and handed out at every fire station.
