      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.
