did you know that iowa has a homeless population of 2,315

did you know that if he wanted to he could give every homeless person in iowa a free apartment at an average cost of 80k per apartment

did you know that obliterating homelessness in an entire state would probably make you win that entire state because you could just say 'lol i eradicated homelessness in iowa what did these other nerds do'

    I'm pretty sure even if they wanted to during the election season, it's illegal to use campaign donations like that. Like legally, campaigns can give to charity, but only if if it does not benefit the campaign.

      Okay, but with how much corruption people get away with in embezzling campaign funds, I don't think it's unreasonable to set up a charity that provides benefits directly to people and have the campaign committee donate to that.

        yep just get some socialist org like food not bombs or dsa or psl or your flavor of choice to set up a new org and just dump it all in there and you could just be like 'see! im not even touching that charity.'

        I mean now that it's over they can dump it all into charity, which I think they have been doing along with distributing it to endorsed local campaigns. They had 16 million left in April 2020 they can do charity with.
