Not even close.

That's 8 billion people * 730 days * 3 meals = 17.5 Trillion meals. What's the cheapest meal possible? If a meal cost a penny that would be $175 Billion.

I’d be snapping for much less than being homeless drug addicts. Big slow wide turn? *snap* speaker phoning around all over the place *snap* See ya!

I'd be fine with the west coast cities just granted the right to enforce laws against them.

Sounds like the joke Rocco tells in Boondocks Saints.

I would like to snap them into productive members of society. But I know that’s a fairy tale. So yes I’d snap them into nonexistence if I could. Probably would have to do so every 5 years or so.

To the drug addicts and gypsies, I'd add those who claim to be ex military but aren't.

It’s an interesting question about the human condition: if you could magic the current homeless away, would new homeless replace them? My money says yes. It’s why you’ll never cure any social conditions…. homelessness, poverty, addiction, etc… it’s part and parcel of humanity.

“ feel bad for the veterans ”

Think about how much money we could have given veterans in need of mental and general healthcare instead of wasting it on a money laundering scheme in the Ukraine.

Yes. I guess the homeless could have really used surplus military equipment.

Most of the money we sent was in equipment not currency or specie.

We spent untold trillions taking Russia down a peg, $100b is a drop in the bucket. The stimulus packages and paying people not to work upset me a lot more than exposing the weaknesses of the Russian military.

Folks with a history of poor choices and a lack of impulse control, not metal illness or PTSD.

Obviously I generalize, some homeless truly need helping.

Wouldn’t it be better to snap their addiction and/or mental health issues away?
