Friendly reminder it's cheaper to give homeless people homes, healthcare, and every other basic human necessity than what we are currently doing...
It's just the elites know if there was a safety net, a shit ton of people would dive headfirst into it because wealth inequality is that out of whack.
The threat of being considered subhuman without a job is the only thing keeping a lot of Americans going.
The thing is if we give them human needs for free then other people won't want to work like slaves for human needs.
If we helped the homeless we would be treating them better than working Americans who waste 5/7ths or more of their lives contributing to this system. And that's hysterically sad
And others would risk a lot for a dream, possibly overtaking these oligarchs in wealth, and that’s too scary for them. They gotta keep those with drive in middle class jobs, getting by and being happy with owning a home instead of taking a risk on a dream.
