How Much To End World Hunger? More Than You Think | Graham Elwood

An investigative economic commentary and wealth inequality breakdown hosted by Graham Elwood for The Political Vigilante. Reviewing a hard-hitting column by comedian and activist Lee Camp on Truthdig, Graham examines the immense scale of modern billionaire wealth—focusing on Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos's $150+ billion fortune. While Amazon raised its minimum wage to $15 an hour following public pressure from Senator Bernie Sanders and the "Stop BEZOS Act", Graham puts extreme wealth concentration into perspective: detailing how a fraction of billionaires net worth could end world hunger and provide universal clean drinking water and sanitation across the globe, while calling for sustained grassroots labour pressure, unionisation, and corporate accountability.
