Keeping people alive and providing healthy food is not as expensive as it's made out to be. Socialism for the wealthy, now that's expensive! Elon Musk could feed the entire world three times over! And there are lots of solutions, money just doesn't back them.

For example, Holland had two issues. College students didn't have places to live or couldn't afford places, and they didn't have enough people taking care of the elderly. So they put them together, the students have a place to live and the elderly are being taken care of. It was just something they tried and the results were spectacular!

The problem in the states is that we don't even TRY ANYTHING! We have more resources than smaller countries and we don't even try. We could try 50 different solutions in 50 different states, use the scientific method to measure the results, and then implement the methods that worked. We could even try thousands of different solutions by trying different methods in different counties of each state. But instead, we CHOOSE to continue to argue and bicker between ourselves. What a waste of time and energy!

I agree that the capitalists economy is a complete scam. Americans are so used to having so much land, that we just continue to shit up as much as we want and then move on to shit up another area. The earth cannot support continued population growth, especially with climate change. And even America will eventually run out of land to shit on. Other smaller countries have to respect what land they have and how to use because it's limited. We could learn a thing or two from these smaller countries.
