While the president has stood strongly behind Israel since Hamas attacked, he said on “60 Minutes” that a new occupation of Gaza would “be a big mistake.”
In fact, the US could fund a few wars and conflicts, end homelessness, implement socialized healthcare and fund the world’s best public transit system with affordable high-speed trains between cities simultaneously.
But they don’t because they don’t want to, not because they can’t.
That’s enough to end homelessness last I checked. (Last year or so I compared median national housing prices and found that Elon Musk’s wealth was enough to take every family and single person in the country off the street. That’s how obscene 150 billion is. It’s enough to end homelessness).
Eh, I’m a bit pessimistic about a 100% solution to it. Can’t save everyone… That’s not a reason to not do everything that can be done, but I just don’t think there will ever be an end.
2 billion dollars won’t solve a single thing, nationally.
Since ‘48, we’ve sent over 158 billion in aid- without adjusting for inflation.
It’s more than all other countries combined- including Ukraine.
Even that 2 billion could go a very long way to helping.
You’re right, it could.

Where could I learn more about that?
Sadly it doesn’t exist in the US, you would have to look to China and Japan.
Ok, but how do you figure the cost?

For real. Every day they wake up with the ability to end hunger, or end homelessness, and they decide not to do it.
Sick fucks.

And I absolutely agree with how obscene it is
Good thing it’s more than Ukraine too. Wouldn’t want any com block arms dealers mouths to go unfed.
