@JeffDSachs @EcoNerdier The Engineers are ready. What is lacking is the International Political will and Government investment to support said Engineers...

#Zuckerberg lost the equivalent of #Jamaica's #GDP this year (but he'll be OK) - the shocking reality of this World’s #inequality - does he really do as much work as all of a country’s economy? High time we heed ⁦@JeffDSachs⁩ call to billionaires abc.net.au/triplej/progra…
