Btw, NYT (a little late for the fray) has called Musk’s debate with WFP an example of Trolling Philantrhopy. But the text is not as bad as the title.
And WFP has published a report describing how they would spend the $6.6bn. As I mentioned above, the goal is to save 42 mi people from hunger, not saving 42 mi—i.e., I don’t think all of them would die this year (also, some of the survivors will die next year even if assisted, so WFP just bought them another year). I’d really like to see a rough napkin CBA estimating how many lives (= aprox. 30 QALY) are saved by these programs.
