And what about the fairly significant number who aren't, in fact, heroin addicts? Or even methheads etc? Some are just alcoholics, and some are people who are down on their luck and not real resourceful. Or do we just do away with that whole "rights" thing if you aren't a homeowner? Wendy P.

It's the low income people in apartments that suffer the most. But maybe you mean, "can afford housing" be it renter or homewoner. I'm fine letting people party on BLM land, just not in residential neighborhoods where Jenny can get stuck by a needle or see a naked drug addict. To expand on it a bit, my penalties above were for residential areas. If you find a private plot of land or BLM land that doesn't impact the surrounding community, no penalties and have at it.

So you haven't a clue what to do, you simply know that someone with capacity needs to do something. Try this one: where are the 11 million undocumented people going to be sent? Do you imagine great queues of them being whipped across the southern border into Mexico or into the sea off of Texas? Do you think we can just fly them to any country, land, and beat them until they get off the airplane? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You seem to assume he really wanted to back out which you can't know. Uuuuuuhhhhhhh lemme break it down - he made a legally binding deal he then tried to back out of. This is exactly why we know his acquisition of Twitter was a stupid thing he tried to back out of because it was stupid. Standard acquisition tactics are that you do due diligence and negotiate first, and sign a contract afterwards. But please, explain more to us about business. It's fascinating. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even more clueless is that you seem to think that forced labor camps are a smart solution in America for the homeless problem, constitutional rights be damned. Oh, but when it comes to the 2nd Amendment forget about it. That baby is sacrosanct. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh, but when it comes to the 2nd Amendment forget about it. That baby is sacrosanct. Life is a series of trade offs. Right now people are impacted by drug addicts over running their communities. One side is arguing for 100% rights and 0% responsibility. If someone takes no responsibility, they get no rights. If the drug addicts go have cuddle puddles on BLM land we wouldn't be having this conversation and we could argue about whether to give $14 billion or just $20 billion to save the homeless with "smart solutions".

Did you miss the part where I found a dead homeless person and got needles thrown at me when walking to a doctor's appointment? My views on this stem from living around it and watching schizo drug addicts attack people. Right now addicts and innocents are harmed. You can fix one side of the problem by moving people.

So a statement like 'the return of oil and gas production' does nothing but demonstrate your complete disconnect from reality. I stopped reading after the first line since the first line is complete bullshit. So can you acknowledge that oil and gas production in the USA is in fact at an all time high, under President Joe Biden and his administration? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
olofscience 489 #50 November 20, 2024 It's weird how some people think "more punishment" is the solution to the homelessness problem. It's not like people want to be homeless. Nobody, I repeat NOBODY does. Thinking that they need to be punished so they'll be motivated not to be homeless is the most messed up thing ever. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
