How true or false is the statement that every person in the world could have food,water, shelter and heat?

There are the resources to provide it, without question.





It all comes down to distribution - economics.





It all comes down to greed of a few prevailing over the needs of the many.How true or false is the statement that every person in the world could have food,water, shelter and heat?
Currently---and sadly---the answer is ';false';.





Governments all over the world enact brutal poverty upon it's people not only as a means to control them, but they PROFIT from their brutality.





Even in the United States, there are profitable opportunities some take by keeping scores of Americans impoverished.





As long as this planet hosts world insensitive governments blinded by hate and greed, scores of millions world-wide will face daily hell in poverty. A solution to solve this problem is beyond our scope to realize, much less actually carry out / enforce.How true or false is the statement that every person in the world could have food,water, shelter and heat?
Of course it is true. Every person in the world could have 3 meals a day ONLY using the food that the US throws out each day. The problem is logistics, governmental interference/corruption, support, and education. The costs and logistics of sending over our unwanted food is a problem....the governments that receive/distribute/or interfere with that food shipment.....the fact that we can't send food and money for the rest of our lives and our children's lives make for a difficult issue as well.....with education, people can learn to feed themselves...to teach themselves and their communities...so that they no longer have to rely on aid. Investing in sustainability is more costly in the short term, which is why we don't do it....but in the long run, it makes FAR better sense economically.
True.





Provided people are willing to make sacrifices should the need arise.





Some people may have to go without shelter and therefore heat, Some people may have to go without food or water.





It can only be achieved provided All of Humanity was prepared to Help One Another.





While we consider each other to be enemies this cannot occur.
It's true that the world produces enough that every person could have these things.





But, if they were given away for free, people would stop working as hard--because they no longer need to work to survive--and productivity would decline, in effect, making the world produce too little.
Hmm thats a good one. America does throw away tons of food and re-usable items although that trend has declined becasue of the reecession and basic awarness of global warming. There are more than 6 bllion people in this world. If u believe in god, then he says i will provide for everyone in this world. We have space, thats not the issue, the issue is POVERTY.
you could give every person on the planet food, water and shelter BUT how many would have to go before the remainder would fit in that answer?


';everybody'; isn't going to make it, you'll have to let some go before that happens.
its true but it probably wouldnt last long besides most of the world is selfish therefore by equaling things out your taking away from people and most wont be too happy about that. its a nice logic but the resources wouldnt allow it aswell as the ';rich';
Should have, yes. Can have, probably not possible. This question should be asked in a more humanitarian section then politics. We should all carry our brothers....not expect government to do it for us.
It's very false. There are many who die in the world everyday because of hunger alone
$800 billion could give shelter, heat and food to a crap load of people, fo sho.
could happen, but its not in our nature to let everyone have that. Some will always have more and want to oppress others.
False.


If it was true we wouldn't have that problem going on everyday.
Not everyone can there are those that won't do for themselves
False,























but we can try.
umm.. false?


i dont really understand the question.
VERY true.


we'd all have to cut back on luxuries..but yes, it is possible.


wouldn't it be worth it?
true
we'd probably run out of air before that happened
True, if the yanks cut back usage
