Would you mind sharing a link? Piqued my interest

I take it you have also heard about O1 aka Strawberry? I appreciate the extension of available hours, I plan on taking full advantage.

Just to add on to your excellent point here, this is often outlined in many forms of training. Never draw if you don't intend to use it. Brandishing is the stupidest shit possible.

I think you're being intentionally obtuse. The article is anything but vague. Are they supposed to name the exact agencies and businesses involved, or can we reasonably assume that Laydon is referring to state funded assistance? Here's some select bits of the article since you don't want to read.

Douglas County had created a team of experts, known as the “Homeless Engagement, Assistance and Resource Team," to help tackle the issue.  The HEART team, as county officials call it, is made up of experts in behavioral health and who are deployed in branded vehicles to help people living on the streets.

Here's how the county handles it. When a report is made about a panhandler or a homeless person, a  HEART vehicle is deployed to the area and make an assessment.

Laydon called Douglas County’s approach “housing plus,” which, he said, is a balanced approach to “trauma-informed practices.”

“For us,” Laydon added, “'housing plus' means wraparound. So, it is housing, but it is also food, shelter, job counseling, mental health counseling. It's treating those substance abuse issues that we know often come hand in hand with a lot of the issues that the unhoused face.”

Edit: Additionally, I fail to see the relevance of money spent if it actually results in less people unhoused. Denver spent way more money and ended up with a higher unhoused population than before.

Did you read the article? The actual details of the program are pretty far from what you say here. Don't have time to bullet point at the moment but please trust me and just take a full look. As someone with deep personal experience around this issue, their method might be a genuine answer to the problem, when properly scaled. Not the first time a plan like theirs has been tried either; Olympia, WA has a similar program for direct outreach.

Let's not forget this is the same company that invented 'Embrace, Extend, Extenguish' as a guiding business model behind closed doors. For me, that trust is broken until proven otherwise.

Speaking of which, it's always been this way. Walter disney got very friendly with German buearaucracy after the events of Kristallnacht, all because he wanted them to continue showing disney films.

Have to disagree; Mr. True is clearly stating what he wants. The tailor responds in a sideways manner, telling him what he actually wants, attempting to control his mind and preferences.

Also, coming from working in a clothing store: if a customer asks for advice, 'how does this look?', that's definitely when you should give fashion advice. If they are making a complaint about the fit, you should just immediately offer something more desirable if it's available, that's the worst time to give any kind of feedback on their appearance.

Yes but exclusively sold alongside cigarettes afaik. They've been lobbying to pass legislation that kills any other companies, and it's been working.
