Ok, this is a start. So you want to reopen the public loony bins and force feed meds to the crazies?

Good grief. Talk about making the place unreadable. Is that your perception of proper mental healthcare? Are you happy with them sleeping on the streets? Do you want to lock them up and beat them? What is your solution?

Lots of meaningless virtue signaling per usual. We need to fix it but it ain’t my problem!

I saw John Mellencamp play a while back. He owns multiple lavish properties that sit empty most of the time, lives primarily in a private lakeside compound in Indiana and has a fit about anyone coming anywhere near his property, but he’ll stand there on stage and whine and cry to bunch of strapped working class people about the homeless in both song and painful monologue. Fuck off.

Reopen the public looney bins and force the meds down their throats if they won't take them. Then charge their relatives who allow them to run amuck.

I think the government should rebuild roads and bridges too. Yet I personally have not rebuilt a single road or bridge.

Oh horrors, the virtue signaling.

Now, if I mentioned the mostly behind the scenes unpaid voluntary volunteer work I do, that might be actual virtue signaling.

Good to hear you volunteer, Nichi.

Building roads is easy. Government doing charity work is not so easy, as we have learned the last 60 years.

The government does fine when programs are funded and caseloads are manageable, and so on.

Republicans like to sabotage them, then say, see, they don't work.

Capitalism is a massive failure and terribly inefficient, yet the right wing remains in denial.

With a little tinkering, it can be made to work, but, oh no, that's socialism.

Apparently destroying the nuclear family of the poors was not enough for you?Well, Moynihan has been dead for awhile, hasn't he?

The Covid related supply chains were part of it,  among other transient factors. Also wage corrections due to labor shortages. Hopefully, livable wages become a new norm.

Sadly, Climate change is not transitory

Capital is very efficient

'There are currently 28 vacant homes for every one person experiencing homelessness in the U.S."
https://unitedwaynca.org/blog/vacant-homes-vs-homelessness-by-city/#:~:text=Sixteen%20million%20homes%20currently%20sit,thousands%20of%20Americans%20face%20homelessness.

That doesn't do us a lot of good. There aren't a lot of vacant homes in places like the Bay Area, where there is opportunity, and a lot of vacant homes in rural Florida and Detroit.

If DeSantis gets far, the Democrats need to go door to door in crackhomes in Florida. If there are blighted vacant buildings you can squat in, no need to pitch a tent on the sidewalk - voila you are not homeless

lets ban foreign investment in US homes

Would that include foreign companies who purchase homes, renovate them, and rent them out?

What about if you are a foreigner, can you buy shares in a REIT?

Is that really straw? He is not twisting what Nichi said and arguing against that as opposed to asking him a quasi topical question that he knows the answer to.

Anyway, it is probably the same number as the number of First Americans that Ben & Jerry has returned it's HQ in Vermont back to.

It’s a million percent a straw-man.

The Tempo I think I know would call this take xenophobic.

Not xenophobic IMO. Responsible. Just as we need to put a stop to corporations (American or otherwise) burying up so much housing.
