More of that is how you solve the homeless problem in the US. A one-time payment of $150 billion would provide enough of these for all of the homeless in America. Then the cost of treating these same people would drop significantly. With enough savings to fully cover the cost of the buildings within 20 years. All we have to do is choose to do it...
It would take a lot of convincing of people to be open to the idea of taking money away from the billionaires, so it'll never happen.
I know you're being sarcastic, but I also understand this position. However, just to be perfectly clear for anyone who may need clarification, we wouldn't have to take money from billionaires. We could just divert money that we already spend on the homeless... Pay a bit more upfront and then pay it off with the future savings.
Don't bring up facts into things, billionaires are barely making ends meet. We must cut everything else.
