Both are wrong. It would take much much more money, and the "vocal minority", the more visible homeless, are definitely unwell. That doesn't mean there's many times more normal people living on the street in need of help. Hasn't California alone spent over $20 billion trying to cure homelessness and they're kind of top of the heap thanks to their climate being conducive to outdoor living.

Yes, the idea that a lump sum payment of any kind could ever permanently erase any condition such as homelessness or hunger is ridiculous, because unless the people involved are somehow rehabilitated and returned to the workforce, there will definitely be ongoing costs.

TBF, not all homeless people are unemployed

I never said that.

Correct. These talking points are ridiculous and they only prove that Musk lives rent-free in these people's heads.
