Commentary

If we had stuck to the guidelines we made back in 2000, in 5 years there would be no poverty. What an astounding fact...
How shocking and how short a time to accomplish one of the greatest tasks the world has ever seen.

Yet we failed. It is my generations job to try again and force the political will back up to meet this challenge. People complain all the time about Climate change but global poverty is silent and more deadly in the long run because it strips our potential for a better world economically, morally, and politically.

Lets work to try and bring this problem to an end.
