    Yes, true but what I’m saying is, you can’t just give them all these things without supplementing them with counseling as well. The root of the problem is that America doesn’t treat mental health seriously enough and if we did a lot of people prob wouldn’t be homeless in the first place.

    Obviously there are exceptions to that and i believe nobody should be homeless but you need to understand that there are some homeless people who have been given lots of chances and have lots of support but they continue to go back to the streets and the d**** because they can’t break the cycle. Do you really think just giving them a check and a home will solve that? How about sending them to rehab?

    First off all, no, the issue is not america's lack of attentiveness to mental illness lol. It is the fact we treat housing as a commodity, where your ability to live in a home is in most cases directly tied to your ability to pay for said home. That is the issue, not mental illness.

    Why can't they break the cycle? perhaps it is because the conditions wrought upon them that started the cycle in the first place are still there, because all the mental health counseling and d*** rehabilitation don't change that. they are band-aid solutions, they do nothing but shift the blame from systemic failure, which homelessness by and large is, to some sort of individual moral failing. tht if they could just stop doing d****, or if they could just get their mental healthy right, that the housing market would be more fair to them.

    No, I believe it's our responsibility to be aware of whats going on, to take actions where we may and in a way that makes sense for us based on where we are in life, and to no actively contribute to the suffering of the people, such as by being a landlord.

    Do you know how d*** addiction works? Housing reform isn’t going to stop them from getting crack if they are addicted to it.

    Surely it's the lack of tax dollars that's the reason for income inequality even though we have been running a budget surplus for years

    He makes it pretty clear to distinguish the responsibilities of the individual versus the government though lol.

    Its everyones responsibility in the sense that we allegedly vote for the people that are supposed to fix these issues

    Here’s a micro example

    I worked for a pool company as a teenager

    This guy had club Dolphins tickets

    He also had tickets in the regular 100s that he marked up and sold on the secondary market to pay for his club tickets

    You could say this is smart, sure, “why not do that?”

    but it’s also pretty scummy if you think about it the other way.

    how it takes that opportunity away from someone who could’ve afforded those tickets at regular value but is now unavailable because this guy is using them to fund a higher tier of ticket himself, because he has the capital to do that.

    Now imagine this on a 10000th times bigger scale and you’ll realize this is all F U T I L E.

    “Why not do that?” the game is the game, it’s up to us to play it.
