I'm not saying the soup kitchen shouldn't exist. It's absolutely necessary, it should just be part of the guaranteed baseline, provided by the government.

The CEO equivalent doesn't exist in government. Your entire argument is pointless.
Do you realize how little a CEO does?
Do you realize how little the actual money donated to an organization trickles down to the cause?
Do you realize that there are multiple charities for the same thing, which just means more and more waste?
In fact in pretty much every instance of a modern government taking over a service, it becomes cheaper and more efficient. That's why many governments run utilities, and healthcare.
Look I'm not saying your service is useless, but I am saying it would be more efficient elsewhere.
So then we should ignore Kant and give money to individuals because it's better than nothing
Kant had a point there, but I think he also fails to address the problem.
The existence of charitable organizations means that the government has failed that group of people. Charitable organizations are extremely inefficient and sometimes are prone to the exact problems he brings up with donating directly to individuals, or they may prioritize certain individuals with certain religious beliefs over others.
Charitable organizations need to be folded and replaced with government programs. We don't need to be paying CEOs salaries when we're just trying to help someone on the street.
I just blame alsamixer for that. There was a solid 6 months that I had to completely uninstall and then reinstall alsamixer on my Lenovo every reboot so I could have sound
You might have some GUI nonsense happen, but for the most part you'll be okay. I have exclusively used i3 for my Linux stuff over the past few years and have only run into a few problems with misc apps

The glasses are OP, everyone's like "the coin bruh"
Nah bruh, you know the power of speeches? Now have it so everyone's on your side all the time. There's no cooldown, it's just always active.
You can just talk your way into anything. You don't need money if you don't have to pay for anything, if you want money you can still talk your way into having it. You wanna be president? Why not! Etc etc. The glasses are unreasonable.
Even you're conflating what the Israeli government is doing with all Israelis
Israelis want Netanyahu and company gone: https://www.npr.org/2023/11/09/1211724903/amid-plummeting-approval-ratings-he-s-blamed-those-around-him
I haven't personally done this, but I'm more referring to the new tech that Ford is putting out for its f150 lightning (given the article was referring to new cars, I figured that's fair game). You can use the truck as a battery back up for your home, since it's an EV you don't have to worry about idle and alternators.
It wouldn't be able to do a big house's heating, but a small efficient heat pump would likely be fine.
Quick edit: I'm an idiot, the onboard controller in the truck automatically switches.
My bad, I'll try to think of a more capitalist friendly solution
I think ideally the point of charity organizations should be a stop gap measure that identifies issues the government needs to address, and then temporarily addresses them.
How that works in practice ๐คทโโ๏ธ
