I want to talk economics if anyone has knowledge.

Why doesn't the free market solve this problem? Shouldn't a player move in to sell discount food/produce to these people?

Why is there a market where dirt is trucked in and sold at a price to these women, but not one where you truck in cheaper food?

And a different type of question:

Why don't the use the dirt to grow food instead of making the dirt the food?

  • -

Do these people really have 0 access to a market that could sell real food, or seeds? Is there some strict or strange gov't regulation that is preventing a free market to bring food production, jobs, etc to this place?

I'm sorry to say that the only real answers can't be found in a discussion about economics but in IQ, which it seems most liberals are too brainwashed to even consider. You can find slums in every corner of the world, no matter what economic policies they follow.
