    We already have the means. Hell, we can even desalinate ocean water into potable drinking water if needed.

    Capitalism just means we’ve decided societally that it’s too cost prohibitive so fuck those people, we’ve got artificial scarcity to maintain for profits.

        Hmm, can’t think of anything to do with that with a need for food globally. Not like it preserves food or… oh wait, it does exactly that.

        If you put as much effort into considering ways this could be done as you do looking for excuses why it can’t, we’d have already solved world hunger.
