text: AhiPoke, mahalo for raising this issue. I agree that having food to eat is better than starving, but I can't help but wonder if slavery is the only alternative. There must be better ways to ensure that people can feed themselves and still remain free. What's missing is an effective business model. Free enterprise could create jobs, but it would require start-up loans and savvy. Hopefully the US, under Trump's business-minded leadership, could bring the world's economic powers together to create business and job opportunities where needed. Healthy economies will also benefit the free world because demagogues thrive on poverty. In the end, poverty, no matter where it exists, impacts all of us.
