There are homeless shelters in every major city, most of them have several. The people living on the streets don't want help, they want to do drugs and not have to worry about paying bills and going to work. They have other options.

@jlllx I'm sure that's true, but when someone cares about themselves so little that they end up on the street, just giving them stuff is a bandaid at best, and enabling, and actively harmful at worst. The more you give them stuff the less pressure there is on them to improve their own situation.

I'm picturing a Family Guy cutaway, where some starry eyed, well intentioned liberal says "ok homeless people, here's your free houses! Just let me grab this form for you to sign!" And in the brief moment he's turned around grabbing a clipboard, turns back around, all of the homes are already completely trashed, with a bunch of homeless junkies lining the streets, several of them already dead from an overdose.

Aziz Azif because that will magically make all the other problems disappear.

Like the movie District 9, but a slightly more on the nose version.

@thecheese4255 we never got rid of the asylums, we just renamed them. "San Francisco" and "Chicago" are the names of 2 very large, notable asylums present day.

"Just gibs peoples more stuffs!" Really seems to be the leftist answer to absolutely every question.

@SpacemanXC so you're the first person in human history that virtue signals on the internet AND actually helps real people in real life? Well this is an honor. It's not often someone like me gets to meet someone who falls into a rare category that's so rare that nobody has ever been in said category before. And I'm sure you're definitely not lying, because you're a person on the internet. Nobody on the internet ever lies.

@kinjunranger140 damn, that's a lot of popcorn. That shit is 80% air, you would have to eat about 50lbs of it to gain 10lbs.

@FFGG22E pretty amazing how people used to come to the US from all over the world with absolutely nothing, and no social safety nets, and they made it to middle class or better within a generation or 2. Now we have some of the most robust social welfare programs in the entire world, and there are insane amounts of homeless people in every major city, and adult children of middle class families who can't make it in life, and moan and cry all day about how they're entitled to more free handouts.

@SpacemanXC if you had a heart you would be doing something to help people yourself, instead of just demanding that everyone else help.

@SpacemanXC you're tipping your hand, it's pretty obvious you're lying. Someone who actually helps people in need wouldn't be making blanket statements like you are, and acting like your way of helping is the only correct way to help. This is a pretty fucked up thing to lie about. But I'm sure you don't care, you're clearly not the kind of person who ever feels guilty for immoral actions.

@ManishMims this is literally how leftists think. They think if they can just get the "right" kind of authoritarians in office, their team will get to live in utopia after they arrest and kill all the pesky non-believers. They're too stupid to understand that even if you really did get a genuinely honest politician in power, who really does want to help the people, that would only last as long as that person is in power.

@Cosmos-xd7nk because we know living on the streets is safe, clean, and sanitary🤣

@Cosmos-xd7nk lmao, so now they're mentally ill and disease ridden? I mean, you're not wrong. But when regular people say that, people like you typically get all butt hurt and start hurling accusations around. Funny how you flip flop on a dime when it suits a different dishonest argument.
