      Do you think we could end global hunger by throwing 200-600 billion USD at it? I feel like even if you could distribute it to all the poorest citizens of a country, $100 per person is not enough to permanently ward off food insecurity.

      I was going based off the findings that in the West at least, after about $80-90k, increased wealth no longer translates to increased subjective well-being. Then, boosting the median American worker’s income (~45k) up to that level.
