What we have now is obviously not working. We have serious homeless problems involving children. That is plainly the mark of a state that is failing its citizens. There is more wealth around than we have use for (see: space yachts, meme coins, NFTs), so instead of leaving it to slosh around in stupid risky ventures, move it into pro-social infrastructure and health/education support services. There is more than enough wealth abundance to uplift the most disadvantaged while still allowing the wealthiest to live out their fantasies.
