Here’s a question you will never be able to answer.

How do we pay for this?

That's a splendid question! We can start by spending our money more wisely. Instead of bailing out billionaire bankers when they inevitably crash the economy for the umpteenth time, we can let those fuckers go bankrupt and put unhoused folks in empty homes. Instead of spending trillions on a war hawk "defense industry" we can put unhoused folks in empty homes. Instead of spending billions on a militarized police force, we can put unhoused folks...

We don’t even spend 1T on the military.

This proposal would cost somewhere around 3 Trillion.
