Indeed, most of the problems in the worlds are there because we don't actually want to fix them.

There's more than enough resources to provide every single person a reasonable existence; We just don't think the homeless, for instance, should be freely helped to get housing. Nah, can't have that, how else can we point to "those" people as examples of the kind of life not conforming gets you?

We'd rather millions go to bed hungry instead of not propping up national markets by destroying food and providing subsidies.

We make it hard on ourselves: With spare change, we could house every homeless person in a tent in a temperate environment in a remote location.

Instead, we house a tiny few in nice apartments in high COL cities.
