"No ones hungry, no ones cold, everyone has basic health insurance"... Literally none of that is reflected by reality. Millions skip meals, millions are homeless and millions have medical debt that is bankrupting them. And this is ever growing in number. I was homeless for nearly five years because the government didn't do anything to help me. I went hungry everyday, lost so much weight i was unrecognizable. When i finally gained weight it was because i was eating dollar tree food...

@Universal_Craftsman why should the government or anyone help "you" or anyone else? Because we live in a society where we all look out for one another for the common good of the country.

Math isn't your forte is it?

Public charter schools are a good thing and provide an education to those who are more intelligent.

@Excalibur2 many addicts were prescribed pain meds like opioids, lost their insurance or they were never properly taken off the meds. Now they are addicted by no fault of their own and we for some reason blame them for being victims.

@Excalibur2 we absolutely can expect members of a society to look out for one another. We only are cynical about this because we live in a hyper individualistic, capitalist hellscape that pits ppl from the same group against one another.

@Excalibur2 the world doesn't owe me anything. But as a society with a social contract we owe it to one another to look out for one anothers interest and well being both as individuals and as a collective. If not, why come together as a group? Why form relationships? Why construct laws? Why form a government and why call it "of the ppl, by the ppl for the ppl"? What does the Constitution say? To protect and provide for the security and welfare of its citizens, no? What does the Constitution guarantee us and why guarantee us anything? Free speech, to bear arms, to assemble in protest. Life liberty and property can only be guaranteed when we come together and respect one anothers existence otherwise it's a war of all against all, man against man and man against all. We created society to be above this. Also it took me nearly five years to become housed again because I'm autistic, incomes are outpaced by housing costs and the government doesn't provide enough assistance to place ppl in homes fast enough and to keep ppl housed to prevent homelessness in the first place. None of that is up for debate. These are unwavering facts. You can either accept facts or you choose to reject them. But don't you dare demand we reject them as well.

@Universal_Craftsman no, they spent large amounts of money on NGOs. That money could have gone directly to mortgage and rental assistance but didn't. You can demand change from ppl after you've housed them. Until then, be quiet and stop demanding ppl "earn" their essential needs for life. California is a great example of why capitalism sucks, using liberal sloganeering to appear forward thinking and progressive. It isn't. It's a sham. It's all about creating a problem and then throwing money at private institutions to "solve" that problem without actually doing so cause if they did solve the homelessness crisis then there would be no more profit to make. Housing, similar to education, healthcare and energy, should not be subject to the profit motive.

@Universal_Craftsman California is a terrible example of how to solve anything. They are run by exceptionally corrupt corporations which create problems which the government then funnels money towards more private institutions to supposedly solve said problem despite knowing that they have no incentive to solve the problem because if they did there would no longer be anything to profit off of. That money should go towards rehab, and mortgage and rental assistance. Directly benefiting Californians instead of going towards NGOs who pocket the majority of the funding.

And? It doesn't make it any less accurate.

If money doesn't buy happiness then they should be happy to spend their billions on ending homelessness and medical bankruptcy.
