Meanwhile, we can't even fix the homeless problem right here on Earth, despite the abundance of available housing..

Completely different revenue streams, academic expertise, decision making possibilities, etc.

It's not that we blew our paycheck on space shit and can't house everyone. We fucked up on the homeless for completely detached reasons. There's more than enough money

This is the type of argument I expect to see on Facebook by their mostly uneducated crowds. But here on Lemmy? I thought we were a bit better than that and more rational...

These are completely independent scenarios, with different funding streams, with different problems, solutions and so on.

You have a Facebook account? Why?

I don't have one.

We could fix it, we just don't want to.

Some of us do want to, sure, but clearly not the people with the power to do anything about it

damn, if only there was some way to do more than one thing at one time.

Damn, if only rich dollars were distributed equally and fairly..
