This is the kind of stuff that I would do if I had Bezos money.

*A child in Africa could have eaten those sonars and F1 engines*

[@workdevice7808]

No they could not, because the politics of their own country wouldn't allow it.

@Charles Wagner There are many examples but a good starting point would be Robert Mugabe's race-based farm confiscation of the 2000s that wiped out the economy and resulted in the Zimbabwe government's increased use of child labour. Didn't need to happen and a one-off payment in lieu of the sonars and F1 engines would never have reached any child in the form of food or anything else.
Also, the notion of 'starving children in Africa' is a slightly offensive and somewhat colonial cliche that pops out of the mouths and keyboards of lefty SJWs who look down on Africa as a single amorphous entity forever being in need of aid - instead of recognising it's made up of 52 different countries, many of which are governed perfectly competently and don't need outsiders to come and feed their children.
