Re: Imagine

Here are the nations that produce 68% of the world's wealth. They
constitute 22% of the world's population. Using technology to reduce
the cost of housing to 1/10th current costs, and selling that housing
at a slight discount to the market, provides sufficient profit to
supply the balance of the world's population with adequate housing at
zero cost to them while maintaining a 50% profit margin overall.

A similar program with respect to food ends world hunger.

The cost of food in the list of nations below largely reflects the
cost of maintaining a standing army that's needed to maintain the
supply chain into the major cities. GPS guidance with satellite cell
phone technology changes all this.

That is, because only $0.05 of every $1.00 spent on food actually goes
to grow food. $0.95 goes to distribute food. Obviously by improving
logistics of food distribution with direct aerial transport from the
farm using propulsive skin and GPS guidance technology, with low cost
solar hydrogen fueling this transport, provides a means to reduce
costs by a factor of 10.

In a similar way, food is sold to the wealthiest 22% at slightly below
market rates, and comparable foods are sold at steep discounts
elsewhere, ending world hunger, while maintaining 50% margins, even
while supplying food at a discount to all nations, and providing a
comparable quantity of food per capita worldwide free of charge to all
other nations.

5x the dollars flow into actual production, and 5x the food is
produced, while large profits are maintained through increased
efficiencies of production. PET based greenhouses with solar powered
desalination units along with solar powered fertilizer production
support this process as well.
