RE: If 50% of the defence budgets of the 10 biggest nations was given to philanthropic causes, would we see more or less war and violence in the world? - Ecotrain Question of the Week
This is really a great post and i like the way you put it, weapons or high tech gear don't kill people. It reminds me of this famous adage that "Guns don't kill people, people kill people" and seriously money can't stop brutality but people can stop it.
I really wish if all the foreign aid was converted to micro grants and given to grassroots people for them to start business in Africa. It will bring about the change the world needs. All these multinationals having big offices and luxurious cars are not helping but the little grants of $500 given to grassroots women is changing lives.
Thanks for this great post and do well to check our #QOTW response. https://steemit.com/ecotrain/@thegreens/philanthropy-can-t-stop-wars
