Summary

This quote highlights the idea that certain global issues such as poverty, environmental protection, and citizens' rights are not inevitable or naturally occurring situations. It challenges the notion that it is acceptable for half the world's population to suffer from hunger, or for the priorities of corporations to take precedence over the rights and well-being of citizens. The quote suggests an alternative perspective that emphasizes the need for a fairer distribution of resources, the preservation of the environment, and the prioritization of human rights over corporate interests.
