I have looked into MMT. It is an interesting idea as taxes don't directly fund spending. The government can spend as needed since they issue their own currency.

Sort of.

Govt can only spend as needed if the resources it wants are available at a price it's willing to pay and it's politically acceptable.

I read it twice. The logistics of getting people what they need with who has it will cost a lot in administration costs. Even if volunteers are doing the bulk of the work. Someone will need to be paid to manage it. The best way would be to form a non-profit and organize from there.

Pay. With pieces of fabric with pictures of dead people on it? It's the resources. It's the suppliers and consumers that you need. Money just makes it easier.

Yeah, people are not just going to give you resources without something in return. We live in America.

See now I know you're bull shitting me because there's a whole section about paying people a stipend.

It takes a lot of resources just to set up a volunteer and education program. I have worked as a volunteer for a democratic club, and it is very hard to set up these things. Charity only does so much unless there is some sort of natural disaster.

I'm not bullshitting you. I saw the stipend part. Look, I think if you could do it, it would be a good thing. With the current structure of our society, I think it will be very difficult unless you create a foundation that gets funded as a 501c3.
