Dinosaurs existed in the past. Their policies resulted in no shelter from asteroids.

Wat.

Using your own rhetoric I could argue that the United States had famines in the past so therefore it will have them again.

Hah.

You could, if there was a history of famines in America's past. The closest we really got was the dust bowl, and that was never really a famine.

Of course, the possibility is always open with global warming becoming a thing that we could experience some form of famine in the future. However, when it happens it's almost certainly going to be because of global warming cannot because of asinine communist economic decision making that dis encourages people from producing any sort of surplus by imposing state quotas on them.

Forget that hunger and famine only exists in the now because we let it to justify capitalism

In the world? Hunger and famine largely exists because people live in regions with really corrupt governments and no way to produce food locally, it's geopolitical more than economic and there really is no fixing it.

In the United States?

You guys have to use a chart that shows statistics on food insecurity instead of actual lack of access to food because lots of food programs exist and lots of people actually are able to get meals even when they are poor. Actual starvation is very rare in the United States, thanks to things like the snap programs.

The United States has problems to fix, but we seriously have a bigger epidemic of obesity among the poor than starvation.
