Actually, both are true. There’s not just one type of homeless person, which is a large part of why it’s such a complex issue to address.

There are a lot of homeless who are severely mentally ill, addicted to drugs, or both (self medication). These people are a significant portion of the homeless (~1/3 mentally ill, ~1/3 alcohol, ~1/4 drugs).

There are also a lot of homeless people who had some bad luck and need help getting back on their feet.

There’s no one size fits all fix here, but the idea of giving someone a stack of cash and expecting it to be used responsibly is absurd. There need to be guardrails in place.

I’m not disparaging the people who can’t spend a stack of cash responsibly either. They need help in the form of social services, not money.

Do they think Putin cares?

Jesus would beat modern Christians to death with his bare hands. I guess that’s why he’s supposed to be wrathful when he returns.

It means she wants to be Trump’s next SC appointment.

The cruelty is the point.

It’s already fucked the rest of the world up. Our far right cancer has been spreading.

Prohibition has worked really well in the US before.

I think if a company is going to dump millions into developing a new product, they should be able to at least recoup the investment they made.

Big coal*

I’d try that, but my dad would like nothing more than to talk investing forever.

You’re very wrong.

All of that would increase his support.

It could be an accident. I got pulled over because I was just cruising around the loop in my town on a Friday with my cruise control set at the speed limit.

At the time, my college didn’t have school on Fridays, so as I passed the school I asked myself, “why are there so many cars when there’s no school?” Then I saw the lights.

I still maintain that the school zone lights came on after I entered the zone since the school busses weren’t even lined up yet, but I was driving at a safe speed for the road itself.

The cop thought so too, since I only got a ticket for 55 in a 35 instead of in a school zone.

Also, it’s east texas. He’s lucky they didn’t toss some meth in the car and get him on that.

The US has a bunch of socialist policies, it’s just that the people who complain about socialism don’t know what it means.

Having an oversized furnace really isn’t a bad thing, and only having it run half the time sounds like a good thing to me.

Genies are slaves, so that would probably be a step up.
