Xist,


To me this exercise is futile. It's a hypothetical question that requires a hypothetical answer. In other words, BS.


But I'll try.


Take the 100 Billion and buy...



Monsanto Company -



Monsanto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


A leading producer of genetically engineered (GE) seed and of the herbicide glyphosate, which it markets under the Roundup brand.[6]


Net income
Increase US$ 1.659 billion (FY 2011)[1]

Total assets

Increase US$ 19.844 billion (FY 2011)[1]



Get rid of GMO seed and terminating seed. Reduce pesticide and herbicide use.

(the bees will thank us)






Cargill -



Cargill - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



Some of Cargill's major businesses are trading, purchasing and distributing grain and other agricultural commodities, such as palm oil; trading in energy, steel and transport; the raising of livestock and production of feed; producing food ingredients such as starch and glucose syrup, vegetable oils and fats for application in processed foods and industrial use. Cargill also operates a large financial services arm, which manages financial risks in the commodity markets for the company.





Net income
Increase US$ 2.31 billion (2013)[1]

Total assets
Decrease US$ 62.58 billion (2013)[1]



Take the last 10-20 billion and buy some more companies.



Then take the companies profits and the CEO excessive salaries and use them to help feed the hungry.

These corporations could then sponsor workshops in agricultural to educate the public and put aside land specifically for that purpose. Then take the food grown and give it to soup kitchens and food banks. Or sell the produce and use the money to expand the program.


Be a leader in the world by example. Show the world how helping one another

and not exploiting one another makes us all richer. (Kumbaya)



Throw in the earlier posted catch phrases "save the children" and "it takes a village" in your paper.


And.......


Guaranteed #%©@ing "A"...



Your welcome.
