Right now, as we live and die, there's enough food to keep every human fed, with plenty of enjoyable meals included (not just boiled chicken and broccoli).

It's about distribution, which is a corporate problem.

Distribution is the problem. Authoritarians left and right are the problem. I work for a nonprofit that feeds the poor and temporarily under resourced and the government is our biggest obstacle.

What specific problems does the government cause for this non-profit, exactly? What "authoritarian" policies is this "left" you speak of enacting which harms the needy?

“Left and right”’in this context probably means everywhere, not “liberal” and “conservative”.

So what you asking about just the “left” probably makes no sense.

“What specific problems does the government cause”? is a great question. I hope we get an answer.

I somehow don't think we will, considering the original commenter is seemingly pretending that they didn't see the comment. I wanted to give the benefit of the doubt, but it's hard to believe that they're actually telling the truth about any part of what they said considering they apparently think Trump is the best candidate we have. American centrist and right wing policies are pretty anti-poor.

He uses "left" to refer to Democrats in his comments so I just assumed he meant it here too.

My only guess is that they mean "a for-profit church" when they say "a nonprofit that feeds the poor and temporarily under resourced". But I dunno, maybe they're telling the truth.
