We already have the resources and technology to do this

But not the will. Because people are focused on building spaceplanes instead of focused on what matters.

"your pet issue doesn't matter because my pet issue exists"

That's not what this is. This is more "your civil war doesn't matter because we're all going die". It's not an "issue", "pet" or otherwise. The fact that you think of it that way is why it's happening.

We're all going to die, either in wars or starving to death. Within our lifetimes. Don't you get it?

Here's an idea: why not take care of people's basic needs like water, food and shelter, and then build a spaceplane?

Watching the collapse of civilisation and seeing people murder each other in the streets over food. Ha ha, silly humans.
