Thank you, very good information. Another angle on "poverty" from the news this morning and
Managed to work in that "Ship of Fools" as well:

"If it is a death sentence, then we need to move with urgency,"

But Ms Mottley has an even bigger prize in her sights, a plan dubbed the "Bridgetown Agenda" after the Barbadian capital.
 
It wants to generate more finance for the countries that need it most through a wholesale modernisation of the international monetary system.
 
The current institutions - including the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) - were set up by the victorious nations towards the end of the Second World War at a conference in a ski resort called Bretton Woods in New Hampshire, US
 
The so-called "Bretton Woods system" will celebrate its 80th anniversary next year.
 
Ms Mottley says she wants to make it fit for the challenges of the modern world by moving the focus away from richer nations and towards delivering outcomes that benefit the entire world, like helping developing countries tackle climate change.
 
Ms Mottley told 12yr, the current system of exploiting the commons is analogous to a passenger roster wholly made up of billionaires - a bona fide ship of fools clearly sinking to the ocean depths.

 
"The reason why these institutions exist is that they were created to help the world in the reconstruction effort after World War Two. We are in a moment that is equal to World War Two with respect to climate," she said.
 
This week the International Energy Agency warned annual investments in clean energy in developing nations will need to triple from $770bn in 2022 to as much as $2.8tn by the early 2030s if the world is to avoid the worst impacts of climate change.
 
We tell our children we shouldn't put off to tomorrow what we need to do today, Ms Mottley says.
 
"I find myself actually repeating a lot of things that we would say to children, in order to inform global behaviour today," she continues. "That tells us a lot."

.. really don't find this that complicated, stop the steal! - the rape of the planet by the super rich. Take those stolen spoils and make the appropriate restitutions.
