"Scarcity is the limited availability of a commodity", emphasis on _limited_.
Scarcity does not mean shortage. It means you do not have infinite of something.
Scarcity: the state of being scarce or in short supply; shortage.
That's the common definition. There's also an economic definition having something to do with limited supply and limitless wants. I'll leave that to the academics. My argument is that there is enough food to feed the hungry and enough shelter to house the poor in the US. If someone has evidence to show otherwise, I'm open to it.
What I'm saying is that it would be self-destructive behavior to give people things for free. It is much better to let people starve in the streets, then to give them both food and housing for free. You'd completely destroy the entire country by facilitating this.
You can give them your own money if it pleases you.
