In Reply to: Such total Bullshit. Housing the homeless would actually save taxpayer's money! posted by vacuous on September 7, 2024 at 08:58:44:
I guess that the most charitable way to understand those who appear to be selfish and full of it when they whine about helping the homeless is to realize that they are merely ignorant of the actual economics and are easily swayed by other ignorant haters in the media.They flatter themselves that they've "learned from history", but they haven't learned sh--t.
Of course, the homeless problem is much more than simply finding a place to live for these people. It's known that a fairly large percentage of them have serious mental problems and drug problems and should also receive some help along those lines. In California, we were able to provide exactly this kind of help (e.g., in the 60's) until St. Ronnie became governor and closed down the state-run mental health facilities. How did we ever have the money to build and operate these facilities until he became governor? The fact is, back in those days, we had the WILL to do it and we weren't wasting the obscene amounts of money on military adventures (even with Viet Nam!) as we are now, preparing for WW3, with (sorry, vacuous!) Russia in Nazi-laced Bandera-kraine and Israel committing genocide against the Palestinians (not to mention our upcoming military adventure in China).
Yes, it's very embarrassing that California (and, really, the rest of the country) can't solve its own homeless problem, while parts of Mississippi, using a system originally developed in Finland as a model, do far, far better in caring for their homeless.
