6-7 is different.
Everything else was a reference to something. It meant something, it had implications. You could play around with it
6-7 is meaningless. It's not even a subversion of a meme... It's just a noise

It doesn't displace them - it gives them a safe place to sleep and store their stuff. It gives them a way to stay clean and fit in with society. It gives them safety at night. It gives them a mailing address
It gives them a way back into society. It gives them basic dignity as a human.
I'm not saying homeless people have no other problems, or that we don't desperately need better mental health services and social safely nets... But the biggest problem for them is indeed that they don't have a home!
It's not rocket science. Housing first is extremely effective in practice, for the recipients first and foremost
Damnit...I actually second guessed myself on it too lol
A lot of importers have already sold off their refund rights... If they did this without an act of Congress, they'd probably end up paying twice
Also, the tarrifs were projected to bring in 3 trillion over a decade. It's been like 6 months... This feels suspect
Probably a progressive. I assume you want things to get better for everyone, and think we have to do something about the current state of things
It's a wide label centered around "what could we do today to fix things"
I refuse to believe it was not both of them until I see evidence of something even more damaging
Housing first is just the most effective strategy. It doesn't solve everything, but it helps the most people fastest and is very cost effective
We have to fix a lot of things, but people focus on this because it's low hanging fruit
I have a party trick where I light my hand on fire and transfer the fire between shapes on a surface
It's not that hot, and it's super easy to light and put out. It's still, you know, fire, but panicked flailing is enough to put it out
Sure, you could get third degree burns from it, but only if you just let it sit there. If you tried to wipe it off or smack it out, which I think is the natural human reaction, it would just go out, possibly flinging little drops of fire around to get similar treatment
If anything, it's the nerf form of napalm...
He's a worker, of course he's beholden to capitol.
But there's a difference between a normal fight and something like this. There's dignity as an athlete competing in a sports league with problems, this would be different
It's probably something like the loan thing, but wackier
Financial people lose the plot regularly, but they get real creative when it comes to the super wealthy. Time and time again, they'll take on all the risk for basically reward, all just to chase a whale
Because your kidneys can filter out a certain percentage of salt, and that's based on the blood concentration
But if your blood goes above the level where the water is being drawn out of your cells and drying them out, you'll be dehydrated from the inside out
I just don't think that's a good angle. It would be a good thing to do, but most people only started to realize that ICE doesn't go after criminals in the last month. They are insanely uninformed
We live in a fucked up society. You have to promise the voters something - Trump promised the deportations were magic that would fix all of your problems. That doesn't work in the other direction
The people of our country just lack compassion
