500billion for the military could have been spent on solar, wind, and batteries. Oh and create tons of jobs.

But nah let's bomb the shit outta people and trash the economy.

    "Replace war with free everything"

    Certainly an enormous amount of work and resources are spent on war and defence against the risk of war. If those resource were instead spent on useful basics... well... yeah, everyone's basic needs could be met with no extra cost.

    Unfortunately, there is no easy transition from where we are to that type of utopia.
