Right, consider the “We’ll give…” part of the statement. He’s got enough wealth to send every homeless person he see to Uganda with first class tickets, and then give them 8.13 a day for the rest of their lives, and he would never even notice the difference in his wealth. But the “We” in his statement says that he doesn’t want to pay for it, he wants us to pay for it, with our taxes. Since I’m paying for it, I’d much rather have the homeless people get one of the thousands of empty homes here (in the US at least, we have more homes than homeless), medical care, and UBI. That’s what we should be doing with our money instead of lining the pockets of billionaires and bombing elementary schools in Iran.
If you consider the US relationship to Uganda, its very possible he’d pay them to function as mercenaries for the repression of Ugandan locals and the extraction of their domestic resources via compulsed and trafficked labor.
Gotta charge them back for transit, fuel, productivity time lost and discrepancies in projected profits. Looks like once in Uganda they owe $4.39 per day for ten years at which point they’ll start to look into paying towards that daily $8.13. Unadjusted for inflation of course.
If he’s ready to give the homeless $240 a month, he can go do so and it would actually help them quite a lot.
He wouldn’t even pay them once they moved to Uganda.
