I’m sure we’ve all hear what Poverty is haven’t we? If you haven’t, you have been living under a god damn rock at the bottom of the Ocean. Or, you don’t watch the news like I do. As of such, I don’t feel that it’s necessary to give a brief reminder on what Poverty is. It’s fresh in our minds away. However, what I’am here to talk about, are the current issues regarding Poverty, and it’s status in general. Whether it be it’s spread, of how far it is to being eliminated, I’ll give you my taste on it.

So, for starters: How far are we to eliminating Poverty? Well, as it stands, were are actually somewhat close to ending it. Which is all nice and happy ain’t it? So that’s something not too depressing. Except for the fact that the estimates are 4 years away from now. 4 years is a long time to wait, and frankly we are running out of resources, can running into more mundane or serious issues. Things like terrorist acts, Colony Collapse Disorder, North Korea etc. I could go on about these, but this isn’t about them. Don’t get me twisted, Poverty is horrible. I’ve never experienced it, or seen it, but I know for a fact that I hate it. And so does everyone body else (Except for the people who have Alexithymia, they really don’t know how they feel about it…). We want this thing to end, and right now. But really if you think about, permanently eliminating poverty seems like an endgame goal. It has suppressed us for so long, but as it stands, we have troubling concerns to deal with if we want to even get to those 6 years, like the aforementioned Colony Collapse Disorder. I’m not a person who has their priorities straight (Took me 2 weeks to get around to this, and in hindsight, I don’t think it’ll be all that good.), but at the very least, I can tell what should be dealt with later, and what should be dealt with now (In some aspects). So really for my opinion, deal with things that slow down your goal. Like Colony Collapse Disorder, and then throw all of your man power into dealing with what your original issue was. We don’t need any more delays, Gabe Newell has driven that point home with HL3 (Although I heard it exists in Steam somewhere. Confirmed?).

Okay, next topic: Why has it taken so long to deal with Poverty? Although this more of a personal question that a general question, the time frame and advancements we’ve made make this seem like a no brain answer. 1920’s America almost got close to closing Poverty’s book, but like some form of fast growing cancer, it crawled right out of the sink and proceeded to scare anyone who walked into the bathroom. If you ask me, I’d say the reason is procrastination. We have the resources, the technology (Not the Billion Dollar Man), but yet we still can’t finish this b*stard off. Why? I think I can suggest a reasonable answer: Were putting things we could be using to end Poverty, into fuelling our more mundane needs, like the development of more advanced Nuclear Weapons. 1 Tsar Bomba is enough, stay with that. We don’t need any Thermobaric Nuclear Warhead Mk2’s ravishing our landscape; It’s dead enough! Stop beating it like a dead horse. On the contrary however, we could instead be looking at a situation in which we don’t have the funds nessesary to put into ending Poverty. If that’s the case, we why did promise we would end it? Simple: If we were sane, we wouldn’t until we have definitive answers and definitive numbers. All this has lead to, is a mad display of sheer arrogance. Now, would someone care to tell me why Misanthropy exists? I think it’s very clear why.

“Give or take 10%”. I had the original idea to do 1000 words, but eh. Don’t want to delay this by another week, do I?
