  > On average, casino players lose a little bit of money. But with a gambler mindset, you lose everything. This isn't a casino. > And yet two of the worst famines in the last century were not reversed. That's actually not really the right way of looking at it. You're measuring the things that did happen without measuring the things that didn't happen. How many were stopped? How many were stopped by the Farm Bill alone? I'm not actually sure which of the famines you're referring to but if you're referring to the Holodomor, it was intentional.

Better than people themselves.
