Amazing. After just giving Ukraine 45 billion more you’d think we’d have zero homeless here in America and if so, be able to shelter them. Neva any money for that tho 🤔.

Shocking news: you never just have to do one thing.

I’m sorry. Did we fund and solve homelessness /help poor people here in America? If we did that well then I guess sending hundreds of billions to other countries would be just fine. I don’t understand why it is “political” or “republican” if you literally want to make sure there are no homeless here, adequate housing, before funding other countries homeless. Strange…

I didn’t ever suggest it was republican, allocations of funding is always political though.

I agree with you in many ways, I just think the richest country on earth could solve homelessness and back geopolitical stability if there was the will. I don’t think it is an either or, and I don’t think it would be beneficial to focus on one and ignore the other. Do you think they are a binary choice? Maybe you could explain that, and I will listen.

I hope you continue to push for better services and opportunities to help the homeless community, I hope others will continue to push for those around the world who suffer.

We can want more than one thing, especially when one does not hurt the other.
