What will historians 2000 years from now regard as a barbaric practice of the 21st century that we currently do without giving second thought?

The fact that so many do without crucial things such as food/shelter/healthcare when there's more than enough for everyone.

No sources handy but I've read in a bunch of places that we have five empty homes for every homeless person in America and that we currently produce enough food food worldwide to sustain a population up to 8-10 billion people. The only reason everybody doesn't have those things is greed - we want to have the most and be the most powerful, we feel others should somehow be "earning" them and it's not fair to give stuff away for free. It's sickening; everybody, even the laziest, rudest slobs on earth, deserves access to food, shelter, and medicine.
