This is sadly a logical response. One you will be crucified for sadly.

I always give food to the homeless when I can spare it, but I don't know how you got in this situation, I owe you nothing, and I don't know what you're willing to do to survive... And I have to priortize my safety over that of other people.

That said, the homeless around here usually keep to themselves and camp out in the trees, so I feel no danger...

If I lived somewhere more urban it may be a different story.

The government ABSOLUTELY owes their citizens the basic necessities of survival, as the constitution says they must provide for the general welfare and support one's right to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Instead they ignore the cosntituion to feed the For-Profit Labor machine.

We need a new FDR, the practice of for profit prisons must be illegalized and these prisons must be ceased and converted into no-cost apartments for the homeless.

All of human history teaches that fuck you got mine is not in fact a logical approach, except in the extremely short term.

I'm not saying "Fuck you I got mine", I'm saying, I can't save everyone.
