UN: “2021 Is Literally Going To Be Catastrophic”
Reuters | Dec. 4, 2020 | Axios

Next year is “going to be catastrophic” in terms of worldwide humanitarian crises, World Food Program executive director David Beasley warned on Friday, per Reuters.

… possible famine, economic instability, conflict and other humanitarian crises. A record 235 million people will need humanitarian assistance and protection next year, a nearly 40% increase from 2020, the UN projected earlier this week.

Oh, well, computer models are never wrong. Millions and millions died of Covid in the U.K. and U.S.

The WFP chief also said that famine is “knocking on the door” of dozens of countries.

That’s racist to point out.

2021 is likely to be “the worst humanitarian crisis year since the beginning of the United Nations,” Beasley added.

Yeah, because nothing was wrong in post-WWII Europe.

Putting on his conservative/realist hat, he added:

“We’re not going to be able to fund everything … so we have to prioritize, as I say, the icebergs in front of the Titanic.”

Never hear it quite put that way. Dude, if you’re capable of moving the icebergs, move them out of the way!

  1. Under a Biden administration I’m sure the United States will shoulder it’s fair share of the burden and American taxpayers will happily finance eighty to ninety percent of the cost of saving the world from whatever is coming next year.
