If I had your money, I could feed every single person on this entire planet for free everyday, I could house every single one of these people, There would be 0 hunger and 0 homeless in this world if I had your money.
Did you think about this at all? With a billion dollars you could
maybe make a few billion meals. It wouldn't come anywhere close to feeding the world, and after you blew all of your money on this short-term effort, nothing would fundamentally change. Hunger and homelessness are caused primarily by systemic issues such as lack of a functional free market, not because people are hoarding wealth. In today's world, any person anywhere
should be able to produce many times what they need to survive; if they can't, then something is
stopping them (eg. culture, government, crime, etc.). Just throwing resources in their direction will do little to nothing; you need to figure out the systemic issues and work to remove them.
For example, in many areas that have been poor forever despite continual aid efforts, there is a culture that if you make any money, you are expected to entirely distribute it among your town, not keep it yourself. Due to this, nobody has an incentive to do more than the absolute minimum. Infrastructure never gets built, and if outsiders build it for them, it's never improved upon. If you want to fix poverty in these areas, you have to work on changing this broken culture. (I don't claim that this is the
primary cause of worldwide poverty.)
With a few million theymos, I could create a few 1000 if not 10,000`s of homes that have food water and shelter inside of them. (a farmbot2.0 inside each one that grows everything they need, with a little chicken farm inside of it and a solar panel or two on top)
Now I have 1000 people who don`t have anything else to do but help me make more of these homes with me.
This is how we stop the homeless problem (which is the start of the economic collapse btw)
So make them take a piss test, ok your not on drugs and your just homeless, here is a home, food, water and shelter, Ask the willing ones if they are given there life necessity`s for free if they will help me build more for more people.
Cool we solved the drug problem and the homeless problem and now everyone has a backup food water and home, in case of a natural disasters, because we have a work force that does not need to worry about making ends meat.
As for your 2nd part
Go talk to the homeless, like I have, they don`t want to do anything because fiat is a fucking scam, these people are not dumb, they refuse to be $laves.
You are giving them money, not food water and shelter. That is the problem, Andrew Yang`s plan to give the drug addicts 1000 each is going to be the end of America.
Think about this, When it is easier to collect unemployment or disability and you earn more than working a 9-5, people will opt to be homeless or claim to have a disability and already do.
