    Jesus fuckin Christ, and It’s likely even worse with modern bloat. We could probably house every homeless person worldwide and rebuild entire cities to be renewable and walkable, just on US military budget

      Oh easily! Just looking at America it would take an estimated $20 billion to end homelessness according to the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The Marines alone have a yearly budget of over $50 billion. You could completely eliminate the Marines, end homelessness in America twice over, and barely make an impact in the American military’s capabilities.
