Fine essay overall but “We possess the means to care for everyone -- yet choose not to”

I really don’t think this is true

The US could make homelessness a thing of the past with a minuscule fraction of what it is spending on the military. It is very much a choice.

		DoD spent $1.43 trillion in FY2026 Around ~1 million homeless in US Let’s say it costs $10K/month/person so $120K/yr/person. Probably a big overestimate but gotta include healthcare and help people with long term stability. That’s 120,000 x 1,000,000 = 120,000,000,000 or $120 billion USD. Idk what the Nth order effects would be but yea I think what you’re saying tracks in the numbers
