That's still taxpayers money. It doesn't just magically appear. I'm not in favor of using that money for anything. Give it back to the taxpayers.
Again, not our money to be giving it to anyone, for anything, no matter how small a portion. Give it back to the taxpayer. Where it belongs.
3, 4, 5, 6. Yay! Even more people to pay for!
It's extremely important for
People to take care of themselves. The idea that the majority of the people we're talking about can't do anything for themselves is just laughable. Most of them just like taking drugs and not working. For fucks sake, just read over the comments in this conversation thread alone, that supports the fact that most homeless people live like that because they want to and
For families of those that really can't take care of themselves to step up and do the right thing. Find every single person related to those that actually need to be institutionalized and have them fund it. Hell, set up one of those online crowd sourcing companies for them. Get religious organizations to fund it.
Anyone but me and other hard working taxpayers who don't want to pay for these people that we have zero responsibility for. It's amazing how people suddenly do a 180 on their ideas of when using tax payer money to pay for the lifestyle of complete stranger is ok. 🙄
I am pretty sure that the magnitude of the problem, the sheer number of people who truly need to be institutionalized, at least temporarily to receive some treatment, is going to be so far beyond the means and abilities of any organizations other than government that we will have 2 options:
Have government pay for it (with as many checks and balances and safeguards as can be put in place), or
Let everything remain the way it is, understanding that it will continue to get worse over time.
I don't like using taxpayer money either, but I honestly don't believe there is any other option if we truly want to fix the problem, because the sheer magnitude of what will be needed is going to shock everybody.
There have been many studies done that demonstrate pretty conclusively that most homeless people are homeless (and often addicted to drugs and/or alcohol) because they are mentally ill and not receiving any kind of treatment. You can disagree with that as much as you like, and insist that most of them are simply choosing to be homeless for whatever reasons, but the research has been out there for a long time and it doesn't agree with you on this.
I think if we enforce the laws we have, make people actually scared as fuck to smuggle, sell, or use drugs, actually fucking get rid of the people preying on the, well, fuck it, gotta face it and call a spade a spade, the weak part of our country, and lock up the criminals in places where they don't get cable TV, and get to get degrees (on taxpayer's dime), and get their own comfy room, and all the other bullshit in prisons, and go full out El Salvador on that shit, we can cut down on this idiotic shit a lot.
We have all these issues because we allow all these issues.
Actually get tough on crime and criminals for a change. Scare people straight. Or just get rid of the problems once and for all. ☠️. If you catch my drift.
