The US often produces way too much corn—50 million metric tons too much; farmers hoard the rest while 9M people die from starvation every year.
(That's enough corn to fully sustain 250M people for an entire year.)
Embarrassing as it is for our species, abundance is necessary but not sufficient for anything akin to utopia.

Note from Claude Sonnet 5
A tweet arguing that food abundance alone doesn't solve starvation, using US corn overproduction as an example of distribution failure. Not AI-related; general social/economic commentary Nathan came across.
