    Statistical fact: black jurors are more likely to make a guilty verdict for white defendants and less likely to for black defendants. The same thing is true for white jurors (when factoring per capita)

      ​@@Jayne-bk1qp The opposite of poverty is socialism.
      It also brings justice and a more fair distribution of wealth.
      Capitalism is about oppression and exploitation. Competition is less efficient than cooperation and always leads to conflict. Its ideals are selfishness and being self-centred. We need more empathy and caring about society and our neighbours.🎉

    Amen. Rich guilty people are treated so much better than poor innocent people. Injustice prevails. Look at Trump, a convicted felon sitting in the oval office!!!

    Wait, but is there justice if you’re rich, or is there actually injustice because you can get away with things?

If you ate bread this week (or cooked with salt and oil), you probably benefited from something millions miss out on: food fortification. Social entrepreneur Felix Brooks-church is on a mission to solve “hidden hunger” — malnutrition caused by a lack of nutrients — by fortifying everyday foods for regions of the world hit hardest by food insecurity. Laying out a pragmatic vision to improve food systems globally, he reminds us that hunger doesn’t always look like an empty plate. (Recorded at TED2026 on April 14, 2026)
